General Q&A

Hi all! I noticed yesterday morning that my comment stopped triggering my manychat automations-- on multiple posts so its not just one trigger keyword malfunction. I have sent in a support ticket and I have literally tried everything myself to fix this issue: refreshing permissions, disabling and reenabling… even went as far as completely disconnecting from FB and instagram and reconnecting and then refreshed permissions again and nothing has worked. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have you recently and found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Anyone else feels like the AI Steps in ManyChat are pretty much useless?I’ve been testing them with Arabic, and they make tons of mistakes — sometimes no response at all, sometimes completely wrong answers, even with well-crafted prompts.Has anyone actually managed to get good results with them?Especially for non-English languages?Curious to hear real experiences before I give up on it 😅

Hey everyone!I have a question regarding Instagram automation. Specifically, I want to retrieve information or the ID of a post that a user has commented on. Here’s the situation:I’ve developed a chatbot that responds to any questions about my products sent through direct messages (DMs). I know it’s possible to automate a fixed DM response when someone comments on a post. However, instead of sending a generic message, I want to gather details about the specific post the user commented on and forward that information to my chatbot. This way, the chatbot can provide a more accurate and tailored response about the product in question.Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Hi.I have problem with my account on instagramm.I disconected instagramm with manychat but your bot still sent automatic answer to our customer which mean very big problem and confuse them. I sent you before 2 days in chatbot question and nobody answer me.Is anybody help me with this problem???

I have tried everything I’ve been able to think of to solve this issue, but when I try to set up an automation I get this error message: Couldn't create automation. Try again later.I reached out to support yesterday and still no response. This morning, I tried again, and for whatever reason, it worked. But now, this evening, it’s back to giving me the same error message. Anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? TIA!

I’m unable to reconnect my Instagram Business Account (@bencorde) to ManyChat because the Meta authorization page only shows the Instagram login, not the Facebook login required for the new API.Every time I click “Update your Instagram permissions to say hi to new followers,” it sends me to Meta’s “Authorization Request” screen → I log in with Instagram → and get this message:“You can’t log in with this Instagram account. Try using a Facebook account that you know is connected with this Instagram account.”I’ve tried everything — clearing cache, different browsers, devices, removing/re-adding ManyChat in Business Integrations, confirming admin access, and linking my Page + IG correctly.The issue persists because my account is still connected via the old Instagram OAuth API, which Meta deprecated in 2024.ManyChat chatbot confirmed the old API connection (ticket #399766) and said the issue needs manual migration to the Unified Instagram Onboarding Flow — but I haven’t received a response.

Hi,I have a pro account and automations to comments on my posts haven’t been working for the last couple of weeks. I’ve refreshed permissions several times and seen no improvement. Automations to story replies seem to be working though.

I’ve introduced an AI Step in my flow with the only goal of answering any questions users have. Once my flow reaches the AI Step, it only answers 1-3 questions before ceasing to respond. Is there a common reason for this or a fix? In the in-platform preview, it works perfectly. When live on Instagram or FB Messenger, it stops responding.

Hi! Im trying to create the new automation to autodm new followers and it asks me to update my permissions. The it takes me to this page but it allways throw an error.  The error says > You can't log in with this Instagram account. Try using a Facebook account that you know is connected to this Instagram account.

Hello, I had the free plan and upgraded to PRO. Of the three automations I have activated on Instagram, none of them launch when someone makes a comment. Why? What is happening? Can you fix this problem? Thank you.

how many tasks can you save in 1 AI step? i thought it was unlimited but now I can only add up to 5 tasks per AI step. anyone else having tme same observation? does anyone know what the limit is? 

I couldnot remove Telegram bot on manychat, there isnot ant buttons to remove, how can I do it?

I am interested in using a feature that allows automatic DMs to be sent when comments are made on specific content. However, I would like to know if this feature also works with Instagram's sponsored posts. If I run an ad on a specific post and someone clicks on the ad and leaves a comment, will a DM still be sent?

Our Messenger flows are not working properly. More specifically, it seems like the contacts are clicking our buttons we have set up in our messages, but the flows aren’t continuing down the path in the flows. Anyone else experiencing this/any troubleshooting steps I can take?

Just enabled Manychats for instagram, but for some user when they comment down the post, the automations message doesn’t trigger. Some account works, some doesn’t. Any idea why guys? note: Already refreshed my instagram permissions 2 times.

Hello,I have a couple of questions.How do I see a visual version of my IG DM automation after the user comments a particular keyword.  I can’t figure that out.Also, on my IG automation has an option for me to re-message the user if they haven’t clicked the first link.  How do I implement that same option on the Facebook DM automation?Thank you so much in advance for you help.

I would like to trigger the automation to send personal welcome message to everyone who follows my page. Is that allowed, cause I don’t see any standard trigger for that?

I saw the new feature pop up earlier today, but since it wasn’t working, I deleted it and decided to start from scratch. However, it’s no longer showing up on my paid plan account.It’s weird because it’s working just fine on my other accounts. I really need to get this fixed ASAP since I’m getting a lot of new followers. I’d appreciate any help! 

Can you please enable 'Follow to DM' beta feature for my Instagram-connected workspace?

I'm trying to connect this new automation on Instagram, but it's not working.A window pops up saying “Update your Instagram permissions to say hi to new followers.” When I click on the “Update Permissions” button, the business.facebook.com login page opens. I can't log in through Instagram; it kicks me out and says “You cannot log in to Instagram using this account.” Logging in via Facebook simply redirects me to the page I was on before.Please advise how I can grant permission and connect this automation.PS: This is a Meta company page, and I am the manager. All other Manychat features work without any problems. 

 I have created the Many chat account, but it doesnt seem to be linking to my Instagram page. I have created 2 automations but they are not showing on my Instagram page. Can someone help please thanks 

It says:‘You can't log in with this Instagram accountTry using a Facebook account that you know is connected to this Instagram account.’ But the Instagram account is connected to the Facebook page that is owned by the Facebook profile. I can see the connection in page settings and also in Meta business suite so I don't know why I'm getting this error. It's frustrating. 

I am looking for the steps to perform the following sequence: 1. User comments a keyword on an IG post/reel2. DM gets sent to collect email3. Email is added to a tag in ConvertKit4. Email also added directly to a sequence in ConvertKitThe baseline instructions from ManyChat for Kit integration is somewhat helpful, but never actually describes how to collect the email & get it integrated into my Kit account
