Hi,in my automations I have a button with “I agree 👍” being sent to the DM of the user, however, it happens quite a lot of times that I receive just the blue thumb up of facebook messenger from users instead of this button content, which obviously is not being catched by the automation.Is this some kind of issue maybe with older facebook messenger version not showing buttons properly?It started happening a lot right after I added the 👍emoji to the button text.Thank you.

Hello Manychaters,I need help setting up the "Instagram Comment Automation" (Auto-DM) for specific ads created directly in Meta Ads Manager.The problem: These are Dark Posts, so they do not appear on my main Instagram profile feed. Consequently, I cannot find them in the "Select Publication" list in ManyChat triggers.My constraint: I cannot use the "Any Post" trigger because I am promoting multiple different offers simultaneously (Summer Camps, Weekend Tours, etc.), and I need to send a different specific flow for each ad.The question: Is there a way to connect a specific Flow to a specific Ad Post ID manually? Or is the only solution to use "Any Post" combined with unique keywords for each ad creative?Thanks for your help!

Hello, I have tried to use the utility message but every message that I put is rejected. From looking on META, it looks like you have to follow a certain format to get accepted but it is not clear, how to get these messages on Manychat. Any help appreciated on what to do. I am trying to reach contacts outside of the 48 hour period. Thanks 

Hi guysI have just paid the $99 subscription to add a team member as an inbox agent. but they can only get full inbox permissions in EITHER instagram or messenger, not both?Does the $99 not give them access to all my connected account inboxes?

Hello ManyChat community,I’d love to get some collective wisdom here. I understand that WhatsApp is planning a change where the WhatsApp ID will be based on a username rather than a phone number.My question is: will the WA_ID in ManyChat change as well?Many of my flows rely on this field and on collecting this data, so I’m trying to understand how this might affect my setup. If the WA_ID is indeed going to change, which field in ManyChat should I use in order to collect or reference the user’s phone number instead?Thanks in advance to everyone who can help clarify this.

Manychat somehow swapped my email to an old email from college that doesn’t even exist anymore. So, I have no way of accessing it on the desktop and getting into my account. I’m confused how this happened because all the emails go to another email, so this is odd. Could someone assist me with this?

Hi,I have created my first automation using flows and now I am just duplicating it. However, everytime I edit the new duplicate and make it live, a popup “Your first automation is live!” shows with celebrations. It was fun the first time, the 45th time it is already too much.Any idea? It seems it’s somehow keeping the tag of the first automation even for duplicates.Thank you in advance.

Hi,I'm having an issue with my ManyChat automation on WhatsApp Business and I'd appreciate your help.I have a flow set up with the trigger "User sends a message - Any message", but the auto-reply is not working consistently:1. When a new customer messages for the first time, sometimes they receive the auto-reply and sometimes they don't — it seems random.2. When a customer has messaged before and we closed the conversation, the auto-reply usually works fine when they message again.So the problem is mainly with new contacts or the first message in a conversation.Could you help me figure out what's causing this and how to fix it?Thank you 🙏     

 Here is a clearer, more professional version of your text:What is the correct type of automation to use in ManyChat when a flow is initiated via the sendFlow API and the contact is created using the createSubscriber API?I would appreciate guidance on the best way to design this flow in ManyChat.In my implementation, contacts are added through the createSubscriber API, and the automation is triggered using the sendFlow API. Once the flow is triggered, I want the system to automatically send additional messages to the contact over the following days.The intended structure is: A messaging sequence that runs for 5 days One message every 24 hours However, when I start the flow using sendFlow, I encounter limitations that prevent me from chaining messages using Smart Delay. Based on my understanding, flows triggered through sendFlow may not reliably support delay-based steps, even when a Smart Delay of several minutes or hours is configured after the first message.My main question is:What

Ok, so ChatGPT says i can create “admin commands” for within the live chat that trigger automation, and surface buttons, but only to me, not the person the live chat is with. However, whatever commands will apply to them, like changing stages. I cant get it to work and I also cant find anything else online (or here) about it… Is ChatGPT lying to me?

Hi there!New to Many Chat and trying to figure it out (from someone who is a technologically challenged!).I manage an accommodation business, and I’d like to build a database of emails from people who either sign up, or who have stayed with us and opted to sign up, so I can send them newsletters and offers in the future.I’d like to run a giveaway competition on Insta and Facebook to build interest and get people to sign up this way.I’ve no idea how to do this on Many Chat, and then when people do sign up, where do their email addresses go?  How do I store them and use them (legally?) without breaching anyone’s data?Many thanks in advance, I have zero idea what I am doing here……!!

Hi:I’ve setup a sequence were the a client send an Instagram DM. If the message cotains hi, hello, or something like that it replies with a custom message. That works fine.But sometimes clients don’t even say hi, they just ask some random question, so I create another sequence using Ifmessage doesn't contain hi, or hello… but it doesn’t let me save it. Is it broken? What I need to do is to send a message to the cliente regardless of what the client writes first.

Hi!I applied to be an affiliate for Manychat 2 months ago. I have not heard back and the info on the aplication is “pending approval”. Do you need anything else form me? Have I done something wrong in the application process? Thanks, Makalani

Hi there. All of my automations stopped working today. I have refreshed my permissions several times. I received zero warnings from Instagram / ManyChat.

I don’t want to use messenger ads. I want to use normal Facebook ads with images and videos for Manychats automation. Is this possible?

I use Facebook Messenger to communicate with people on my page, but now I’ve bought ManyChat and want to use it for messaging on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.On Facebook and Instagram, when I have ads published and someone sends me a message, it shows up from which ad they’re sending me a message. However, in ManyChat, I no longer see any information about that. This is a crucial problem for me because I run multiple ads for different products. When someone sends me a message asking about the price of a product, I don’t know which product they’re referring to.How is it possible to see from which ad someone sends a message? Is it possible to do so?

Hi, quick question.I already have one Instagram account connected to my ManyChat account.Is it possible to connect another Instagram profile to the same ManyChat account, or do I need a separate ManyChat account for each IG profile?And what is the best way to connect an additional IG account? Thanks for your help.

hi everyone, is there a way to extract whatsapp number from my whatsapp contact on many chat rather than manually taking it? hope someone gives me clear answer and thy why to do it 

Why does the auto-message to follower feature use a different font and require a button at the bottom? It doesn't look like a natural message, and because it appears automated, the response rates(double tap like) are quite low. I usually send these messages manually myself. It takes a bit more effort, but the response rate is much higher. While this new feature saves some time, it makes the greeting feel less personal and less like it was sent by a real person. Is it possible for us to change these?For example, can we at least have an option to remove the button at the bottom. Otherwise, it looks exactly like an automated system message and comes across as really insincere.

How can I manage labels? Edit, delete…And how do we filter conversations by label?

Hi everyone! I’m experiencing a strange (but very critical) issue with Instagram integration.• My Instagram business account is connected to my Facebook Page.• I am the Business owner and have full control in Meta Business Manager.• When I try to connect Instagram in Manychat, it says the account is already connected.• However, when I log into Manychat (via Google or Facebook – both show the same profile), my dashboard is completely empty and shows “You don't have a channel”.It looks like the Instagram ID is assigned to an existing Manychat workspace, but that workspace is not visible in my account.I did not create multiple Manychat accounts. I always used the same Google/Facebook login. Has anyone experienced a workspace mapping issue like this?If anyone knows what to do with it, pls help! :)  Thanks in advance. 

 Hello, I need to know if I can message my contacts please, as if not, you need to stop charging for people that I cannot message. At the moment, I can only contact the 317 people, not the 26,000, if there is no way of doing this then I should only be charged for the 317. If there is a solution, please share it, as it is critical for my business.  Thanks
