I am unable to configure the Goal Conversions API. I followed Manychat's step-by-step instructions to configure it, but every time I enter my Data Set ID and the Token generated by META, it always gives an error saying “Invalid conversion API credentials”. How to solve this problem?

Hi everyone @pamela @Adoilson Cruz @DappaAlpaca @danielturbox @EugenG @Giovana Costa @louie2jk @Melanie @silicuda @Chatbotter @Ariel Arias 

 

To successfully connect your Manychat account, the Conversion API token must be linked to the same Facebook or Instagram account as your Manychat account. This means both accounts must share the same Instagram account ID.

What this means in practical terms: if you have the @account1 Instagram account connected to MC and try to connect a token linked to @account2, the credentials will be considered invalid and connection will not be established or revoked (in the case you had an account connected with a valid token and disconnect it to switch to another later).However, if you try to connect a token linked to the IG @account2, the connection will be established successfully.

Hope this helps!

No, this doesnt help. You’re just repeating the same thing. I know that the accounts match but it’s still not working. what now?

@Raquel C 

by account2 do you mean FB account? assuming account1 is IG.

So if I get this right. you mean use the same API token as the IG account. and NOT the FB generated API key?

Same issue here. I am logged with the same account on MC and FB but still got the error. Does the datasource need to be created with the same user ?

The recommendation infers that we all have Business Portfolios with multiple Instagram pages and accounts. I'm sure that's not the case for 90% of users reporting the same error.

 

To be clear, my commercial portfolio only has one facebook page and one Instagram account. Still, I get the invalid credentials message when I want to make the connection.

 

As the channel I want to connect is WhatsApp, the recommendation I received from support was to activate the automatic connection. By doing this, it created a new dataset different from the one I had previously created, something that I did not like at all.

 

I followed the documentation to the letter, and to be honest, going through it again and looking at other platforms' documentation regarding this. I must say that ManyChat's documentation feels incomplete.

 

And what to say about the integration as such, where it is not possible to designate a dynamic amount for the purchase event. Making it unfeasible to measure sales at all.

 

We urgently need the team to review and polish both the integration and the documentation. Lack of interest in this area only undermines the growth of the customers and the platform itself.

 

The Conversions API is increasingly relevant for measuring events, especially in the field of conversations, something ManyChat intends to leverage.

Hello ​@Raquel C 


I’m having the same issue. When I manually fill out in my dataset ID & META Conversions API, I receive an error message, and when I use the connect to FB option, it loads the incorrect dataset. Our META business portfolio is only connected to our one facebook page and one IG account, however we have two datasets, which are for different areas of the same business (using same social pages). Even if I wanted to delete one of the datasets so that I could test if it worked under your recommendations — you can not delete META datasets. So does that mean we can never use our manychat posts as ads? 

There needs to be an option where you can have a drop down to select the correct dataset or create and override for your error, when  its manually inputted. 

I also noticed someone wondered about if the accounts and datasets needed to be created by one user. Ours were not created by the same user, but we both have full business access and ownership of everything in out META business account. —So that shouldn't matter. Hopefully that isn't the issue, because, I think it would be quite common for the original owners of the account, not to be the ones creating the datasets — as they may have marketing and ads managers,
