Hi everyone!

I’m trying to connect my Instagram Opening Message to a Smart Delay inside a private reply flow, but ManyChat isn’t letting me link the two blocks.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

  • IG Opening Message → Smart Delay (23 hours) → Next Step

  • But I can’t seem to connect the Opening Message to the Smart Delay when it’s set as a private reply.

Is there something I’m missing, like a setting, channel type, or a different block I should be using to trigger the delay?

Would really appreciate any tips or screenshots if you’ve set this up before!

@Annaina what exactly would be the ‘Instagram Opening Message’?

Do you have a screenshot of what you’re trying to setup?
