Solved

Hello!I have the free version.    I am trying to set up a flow that simply responds to an Instagram comment with a public comment reply.  I do not want it to send a DM.  When I set up the trigger for “respond to comment on post or reel”, it walks me through steps within the trigger itself to pick the post and set up some replies, which I have done. But then it requires me to add a second step. I don’t need or want another step but it won’t work without one.  The only second step in the flow I can see to add is “send message” and I have tried adding that and setting it to comment only, but it is sending it as a DM.I really just want it to reply with the few replies I set up in trigger. How do I get it to do that?thanks in advancejean

👋Добрый день!В инстаграм рассылки можно отправлять только тем пользователя, которые взаимодействовали с вашим директом в течении 24х часов, если прошло более 24х часов - отправлять автоматические сообщения пользователю, к сожалению, нельзя.Рассылки можно отправлять всем доступным клиентам, или только тем из них, у кого есть определённый тег, например, который был получен внутри автоматизации. Можно ли сделать  это в вашей программе ? Можете отправить подбробную инструкцию если это возможно сделать в вашей программе  English translation: 👋Good day!In Instagram, newsletters can only be sent to those users who interacted with your direct within 24 hours. If more than 24 hours have passed, unfortunately, you cannot send automatic messages to the user.Mailings can be sent to all available clients, or only to those who have a specific tag, for example, which was received within the automation. Is it possible to do this in your program? Can you send detailed instructions if this is possible

Hi,I'm using ManyChat to manage the onboarding process for my users.For other platforms, I rely on Amplitude to analyze user behavior.How can I integrate ManyChat with Amplitude (Make is also an option) in order to track user behavior effectively?For example, I would like to know which buttons on the automation, the users tapped. Many thanks.

I need to verify my ManyChat issued phone number again in Whatsapp Business manager (see screenshot). But I can not find where in manychat I can receive this SMS. How can I simply reverify my phone number?Extra info: My phone number was created with a Manychat pro subscription, I now do not have this subscription anymore and I don't use Manychat anymore. But still Manychat has the phone number, and I do want to keep the phone number. How can I do this? 

Hey everyone! I’m having an issue with sending messages through Make after a user sends us a DM on Instagram.Here’s the situation: A user sends a new message (text or DM reply) That should reset the 24-hour interaction window, right? But when I try to send a follow-up message using Make + ManyChat API, it still says the interaction is outside the window. I’ve verified that the user replied within the last few minutes, but it’s like ManyChat doesn’t detect it in time or doesn’t update the window properly.

Hi Community 👋I have a subscriber whose contact information in ManyChat shows “Opted-In for WhatsApp” However, when I try to send them a flow using the sendFlow API, I get this error: "Content can’t be sent to the subscriber without a message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over 58h ago (more than 24 hours ago)."  I assumed that being marked as “Opted-In for WhatsApp” would allow messages outside the 24-hour window, but apparently not? Could someone please clarify: Does "Opted-In for WhatsApp" allow sending after 24h? Note I am sending message_tag: "CONFIRMED_EVENT_UPDATE".

Hi :)I’m sending a request to Manychat to create a WhatsApp Contact. If the contact already exists, I receive a 400 (makes sense). The thing I can’t seem to understand is how do I update a contact that already exists and only has a “whatsapp_phone” as a field I can refer to. I can’t use the findBySystemField request to find the ID (because the contact doesn’t have a phone or email in Manychat) and I can’t update the contact without the ID.Please help!Thanks

I am on a Free Plan. I am using Auto-DM Links From Comments feature. I have created 4 automations. My Free Contacts Limit is 0/1000.I am not using any Pro Feature.Now I am unable to create new automation. As I press the Go Live button, it prompts me to buy Pro Version.Please help to resolve this problem or please share email or something which can connect me directly to Manychat team. Thank you.

Hola chicos, espero se encuentren bien, hace algún tiempo por ahí de 2019 ~2020 ocupaba Manychat y tenían una función de mensaje de modo offline, para cuando no hay ningún asesor disponible, suponiendo que:EJ. Mi negocio opera de lunes a viernes de 9:00 a 18:00 horas, entonces este mensaje de modo offline entraba cuando no había ningún asesor disponible y solo capturaba nombre, número o correo. Pero ahora que estoy volviendo a crear mis automatizaciones con Manychat en Fb e IG, no encuentro esa opción, no sé si se movió, o alguien sabe como hacer algo para ello.  

hi there,  Im wondering about using many chat to push people to a trivia page with Quiz Questions to warm up potential attendees to quiz events.  It would look like this -  Ad is running for a Harry Potter quiz evening event. The ad is pushing people to the ticket purchasing page. Within the Ad is a prompt for people to comment something like ‘comment POTTER10 and we will send you 10 free questions that will be asked on the night to prepare you’ the viewer would then comment POTTER10 and a message would then be sent to their inbox with a link to the page with the 10 questions and answers.  Am I able to do this? I want to the AD to go to the ticket purchase page. I DONT want the ad to be solely for the purpose of sending them the link to the questions.  Is this possible? Thanks in advance! Andrew

Hi,  we are trying to sale different products on our Instagram Lives based on keywords in our live chat. The issue is only one automation is firing, but after, say they want to view a different product the next automation won’t trigger even though it’s set to a different keyword. In settings, I see there is a “Pause automations during conversations” but no way to turn off or lower the “30min” timer. Is this option limiting the automation from triggering, or are we not setting up this process correctly? 

if i want a log of all the whatsapp messages sent today or yesterday or oany date rangeis there a way to do that ?maybe there us addon ?

How do we contact Manychat to submit a support ticket? We cannot find an email address. What is the email address for support?

I want to create a new automation and link it to my previous facebook post. I have the link, but when I enter it here, it appears like this. How to solve it? 

Estou com uma automação em que o aluno escolhe os 2 periodos de aula, e em seguida é enviado um mensagem com um botão com link do grupo 1 e depois grupo 2. Mas alguns leads dizem que não acontece nada apó clicar no botão, não conseguem entrar nos grupos. Alguem já passou por isso? 

Hey everyone! Excited to get started with manychat!  I need to sign into my outlook email in order to access my work account, but I don’t have that option or at least I can’t find it anywhere. Do I need to create a new gmail and then switch the email on my IG account to the gmail. or is there a way to get my outlook email into manychat so that I don’t have to go through the headache of creating something new and completely switching it out?Thank you! 

Hi everyone – I’m building an AI-powered Instagram DM assistant in ManyChat (Pro plan) for a coffee shop, and I need help bypassing the built-in “Default Reply” greeting so that the very first customer message goes directly into my ChatGPT action. Here’s what I’ve set up and where I’m stuck:  1) What I’ve Built  Automation type: Instagram Default Reply (Automations → Basic → Default Reply) Trigger: User sends a Direct Message Canvas flow:   Default Reply (pink card that says “Hey, how can I help you?”) AI Step (ChatGPT integration with my full FAQ-style context & system prompt) Send Message ({{response}})  This consistently returns perfect context-driven answers… but only after the user sees the greeting and has to re-ask their question.  2) The Problem  First DM: User writes “What milk do you offer?” → Bot replies “Hey, how can I help you?” Second DM: User must repeat “What milk do you offer?” → Bot finally returns “We have Whole, Oat, Almond, Soy, Coconut…”  I

A conta associada ao meu perfil não aparece quando logo no PC, mas aparece no app do ManyChat. Como resolver para aparecer também no PC? Esta conta foi criada há alguns meses e não utilizei recentemente.

I recently launched a load of new automations for a client - and they have absolutely flown, which is amazing!BUT - this has left them with the issue of having so many messages in Live Chat that they are struggling to sort the DMs from automation from the ones that are manually sent.They need to be able to quickly respond to people who manually send them a question - but these are being lost among the sheer amount of automated conversations.How can we filter Conversations where the last interaction was a manual activity, NOT an automated one?

Hi everyone! I need some help with a sudden issue.I’ve always been able to upload PDF files (and other file types) to my WhatsApp automations on ManyChat but today, I’m getting this error message:“File type not allowed. You can upload: aac, mpeg, mp3, ogg, mp4, 3gpp, gif.”I’ve already tried switching browsers, computers, and even internet networks, but the problem persists.It seems like something changed from yesterday to today. Has anyone else experienced this?Could it be a temporary bug or a recent update?

We're attempting to use a Custom User Field (e.g. User_Question) in a webhook body using the + Add a Field feature within the "Edit Request" screen. However, when the variable is inserted, it does not auto-wrap with double quotes or curly braces ({{ }}), which causes the JSON to become invalid. Even when manually adding the correct format ("{{User_Question}}"), the system either strips the quotes/brackets or continues showing Invalid JSON. We've followed all official instructions, but the variable remains unrecognized and the request fails to trigger the webhook correctly.Help as the manychat Helpdesk are asleep at the wheel 

Olá, boa tarde. Tudo bem com vocês?Recentemente minha esposa que entende mais deste mundo do que eu entrou aqui para reativar minha conta que já havia sido criada porém eu nunca fiz nenhuma automação.  E agora ao tentar estou sendo levado a diretamente pagar o pro pois excedi o Número de contatos.  Sendo que eu nunca fiz nenhuma automação.  Então talvez seja ignorância minha, mas acho que há algo errado.  Alguém poderia me ajudar por favor? Muito obrigado. 

Hi all, I’d like to build an AI assistant chatbot using ChatGPT that can save the messengers inputs to certain custom fields. I tried the AI Step and was pretty underwhelmed by it. I saw the documentation for connecting ChatGPT, but from reading through the forums, it looks like the Assistants API can work with some workaround. If anyone is able to share some guidance, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

The buttons below the text and media messages stopped working.At first I thought it had to do with the payments handling, but even a simple text message no longer works.I recorded it, have a look: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NZJ6J1sCRE7ev1rGWjDhdcCWqnFWdl7k/view?usp=sharingBelow is the automation. On the mobile is tells me that it's trying to connect. Appearantly that was not successful.Has anyone experienced this - and solved it😅?
