Hi Everyone & ManyChat Team,

Has anyone else been struggling with activating a Default Reply flow in the updated ManyChat interface?

Here is the exact issue:

  1. In Automation > My Automations, my WhatsApp Default Reply flow is listed as STOPPED.
  2. When I click the three-dot (...) action menu next to this flow, options like Rename, Duplicate, Convert Channels, Move, Share, Delete are listed, but THERE IS NO "SET LIVE" BUTTON!
  3. Inside the flow editor, the Publish/Set Live button is disabled (Saved), so there is no direct way to set the flow from STOPPED to LIVE.

Why is turning ON a system flow made so complicated or counter-intuitive? Why do we have to duplicate or rebuild flows just to toggle them from STOPPED to LIVE?

What is the official/correct way to turn a STOPPED Default Reply back to LIVE in this new UI without hacking it by duplicating? Would appreciate any insights or UI fixes from the team!

Thanks!

    Hi, I have the exact same issue in the new ManyChat dashboard UI! My WhatsApp Default Reply flow is stuck on 'STOPPED' in My Automations, and there is no 'Set Live' button in the 3-dot menu or inside the editor. How can we switch a STOPPED flow back to LIVE without duplicating it?
