Hi everyone,

 

I’m on the Pro plan ($15/month) and it’s showing as active in my subscription settings. I don’t have the AI add-on enabled (and I don’t want it).

 

I’ve built a simple Instagram automation flow:

 

  • Trigger = user comments a keyword on my post (e.g. “fitness”)

  • Action = send them a DM with a link to my landing page

 

 

The issue: When I try to set the automation live, ManyChat keeps prompting me about AI, almost as if I need the AI add-on. But my understanding is that this type of flow should work on the Pro plan without AI.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to change something in my IG setup (business account / FB page linking), or is there another step I’m missing to activate a normal flow without AI?

 

Thanks in advance!

Flow setup: Use the Instagram Comment Growth Tool (not AI triggers) → add your keyword condition → connect it to your flow.

Publishing: After setting conditions, publish both the Growth Tool and the connected flow.


Also, check if ManyChat AI is showing as active in your account. If it is, disable it so you don’t get charged the extra $29/month—you don’t need it for this automation.

Once that’s in place, it should work normally without AI. The AI popup is optional—just skip it and continue.
