I love the way you teach! Your pace was nice and your teaching style is clear and concise! I was really able to grasp and process what was being said. There’s value in that alone. A lot TH-camrs speak waaay too for fast for teaching anyone anything. Especially if some has never done it before. But yours was on point! I Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your instructions. I find them better explained by your video than the actual manychat channel. Your instructions broke it down so much better. 👍🏾
Thank you for walking me through these steps. Super simple. Super clear instructions. I now have 3 Instagrams reels with automated responses. MANY MANY MORE TO GO! Can't thank you enough!
so helpful!! Thank you! Curious... If I set up one for a reel but then share it to stories do I have to set up a second trigger if they reply to that reel in the story? Hope that makes sense.
Thank you for really clear instructions! Will use tomorrow a free plan for the first time according to your instructions. Will let you know how it went :)
Can I put a post up on LinkedIn and use this keyword and would it work the same way or is this only for Instagram. Also, do you know how to create a mailing list using ManyChat? Many thanks Stephanie
You might be able to set up a zap in Zapier to connect Manychat with LinkedIn but I'm not 100% sure. For the mailing list, you'll need to create one on another platform first (my favourite is Flodesk - here's a link for 50% off your first year flodesk.com/c/STEPHANIELONG) and then use Manychat automations to grow your email list through an opt-in page!
Please I want to ask a question relating to this If a buyer has a manychat account and has linked the Instagram account to his Facebook account, what does one need to login into the many chat account?
Hi Stephanie. Great video. Very clear. I'm wondering if you know about the problems with turning on the trigger. I'm still exploring Many Chat and would like to use it for a few weeks before purchasing, but the trigger doesn't seem to turn on any longer. I've tried 5 times, and only once was I able to get the trigger to fire. Any ideas?
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the video. his really clear and I like the way you explain. You choose a website as the link for the interested people. What happens if there is no website or landing page. Can the video (in my case a training video for free) be in hold in manychat to be send to the person?
If they make a separate comment with the word, I believe the automation should still work! You can always add multiple trigger words to the automation too
I realize this was older but I cannot setup just for instagram. Apparently its integrated now and wont let you set up without setting up FB and Whats app. I dont like using either of those. Thanks for the tutorial. I wish had not changed that
Very good tutorial for beginners,but I have a question that I would like to ask you:What link do you put here for the automation, because I don't get it. I'm waiting for your answer to understand all the video that helps a lot! Thank you!
Manychat must have changed something on the free side because when I try to set up an automation I get this error message with the trigger. "You can not activate the widget on the Free plan. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited access." I don't have any Pro features selected in my trigger. Any thoughts?
You might have luck with posting on IG first and then going back into Manychat and choosing the specific post - I know there are limitations on the free plan, but this might work!
This is happening to me too. My older / existing automations work fine but I can't turn on new triggers. Is this is bug or did Manychat take the feature away from the free plan?
If you are on the paid plan but use a planner like loomly to plan your socials a month in advance, how do you connect the two so you can see upcomming posts?
Stephanie, my business partner and I have worked for hours to set up Many Chat. We have it set up to messenger, but it is not seeing our Insta business account that is connected to our Facebook business account. Can you help?
This was such a helpful video! I tried to do one on my own but it is not working. I did everything like you said. Still not working…So, I tried to just change it to an older post but it said I couldn’t use it because there were already comments on it…not sure what to do.
I have a question for every reel do we need to create a new automation for each?? Or can we use the same automation for all reels? Is that in the pro plan ?
On the pro plan you can set up an automation to fire on all posts and reels. Otherwise you'll have to duplicate the automation for each post on the free plan!
Hi, i have a question; do i need to use a button? When people comment on my reel, i would like to sent a message to start a conversation. Not link of to send something. Is that possible?
This was super helpful, thank you! I'm having a little trouble, though, perhaps you could help? My automatic messages are being sent, but they're cut off for the receiver! The button is there, but only the first sentence or so of my message. Any thoughts how I could fix that?
Question for ya- I'm going to create an ad, but in the ad it says to comment "XYZ" to get discount. Idk that people would be clicking on the ad, commenting, or both. So would I choose the action "comments on post" or "when they click the ad"??
Hi Stephanie. After I add my keywords, in that +anel, I don't have the "Public auto-response in Feed" button. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you. Ana
I'd try deleting the automation and trying it again! I noticed an issue with one of my automation this past week, so perhaps it's an issue with Manychat. Also make sure your automation is set to publish too!
if you're on the free plan and someone comments the trigger word before the automation is set up- will the automation capture that trigger or only the comments after it has been set up?
@@BeComingNyrell Only comments after the trigger is set up I believe! So what I do is post and then quickly head to Manychat and put the automation live (if I’m using the free account)
I'm not 100% that this would work, but you could try to set up the first part of the automation by selecting the post, the keywords you'd like to use in the post, and the replies you'd like to use in the comments and then the second step would be action > live chat > mark conversation as closed.
Thank you - finally an actual step by step that explains everything so wonderfully!! 100 thumbs up!!🤩
Glad it helped!!!

Thank you for your instructions. I find them better explained by your video than the actual manychat channel. Your instructions broke it down so much better. 👍🏾
This is the best comment ever! Thank you so much!
Same! Thank you!
Your video was so easy to follow and now I'm all set-up. Thank you for the demo.
Fabulous video, so easy to follow. I just set up my Manychat free account following along to your video.
This tutorial was incredibly helpful! The step-by-step instructions you provided made the setup process a breeze.
So glad to hear this!
you are a good teacher for beginners
Thank you! So many ppl gate keep information. This was straight forward and clear.
Thank you for walking me through these steps. Super simple. Super clear instructions. I now have 3 Instagrams reels with automated responses. MANY MANY MORE TO GO! Can't thank you enough!
You're so welcome! So glad you've got some automations set up already, woohoo!
Great walk through. Did step by step. Everything is working 100%. Thank you!
So glad to hear everything is working great!
I never realized HOW SIMPLE this would be and wish I had done this earlier. THANK YOU for your simple setup steps. :)
It's really the best! Thanks so much for watching, glad the video was helpful!
Thank you! I am new to Manychat and your video helped me to understand how it works. A very clear guide! Much love :)
Glad to hear!
Such a great explanation and demo, thank you! Instead of linking a website, can you link a Google Form?
You definitely should be able to do this as you can add any link to the DM message!
You made this sound so easy. I will definitely try it tomorrow!
So helpful! The best explanation!
Can you please make a video on how to collect emails automation
You could send a link to an opt-in form to collect email addresses!
Thank you so much Stephanie, this was just what I needed and very helpful and easy to follow
Glad to hear it was so helpful :)
Thankyou!Great explanation
How to add multiple links?
Great explanation, thank you! I was able to set my first automated message!
That's great! Happy to hear!
OMG, I loved your video, it helps sooooo much! THANKS!
So glad to hear that!
Thanks for explaining this step by step. Great video and very helpful
So glad to hear that Anna!
so helpful!! Thank you! Curious... If I set up one for a reel but then share it to stories do I have to set up a second trigger if they reply to that reel in the story? Hope that makes sense.
Yes I believe you'd need to set up a separate automation for IG stories too!
Thank you for the walk through. I can’t tell you how helpful it was!
That makes me happy to hear!
Your teaching was fabulous BUT I am not about to get the automation to work for me 😞. I've started off with the free plan. What might I be missing?
this was helpful because I get so frustrated using many chat. how about if someone comments from an ad?
These were the clear directions I was looking for. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that!
Thank you for really clear instructions! Will use tomorrow a free plan for the first time according to your instructions. Will let you know how it went :)
How did this go for you?!
@@nutritionbusinesscoach Very good thank you so much!

Were you able to get this to work?
Thanks!! Do you know if theres a limit to how many you can set up with the free version?
Last time I checked it was 3!
@@nutritionbusinesscoach Thanks
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the video. his really clear and I like the way you explain. You choose a website as the link for the interested people. What happens if there is no website or landing page. Can the video (in my case a training video for free) be in hold in manychat to be send to the person?
Yep! You can include the direct link to your video in your Manychat response!
Thank you for this easy step by step process! I appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video! For the pro plan would if I have my post schedule out how can I plug in the word on a schedule post?
This tutorial was great but the “public auto response” is not visible for me. Did Manychat make some changes since you shot this?
thank you, so helpful - clear, concise. appreciate your time to put this out here.
Really well explained! But, I think the app has changed a little bit.
Best video on this! Thanks a bunch!
If someone's comments the word twice and get's the link the first time but not the second time, is there a fix for that ?
If they make a separate comment with the word, I believe the automation should still work! You can always add multiple trigger words to the automation too
Really helpful. Manychat don't provide a video for the basic account just pro!
Glad this video could be helpful for you!
is it possible to send broadcast messages to a specific group of people on my followers list automatically? without them commenting or interacting
I'm not sure about this, but good question!
I realize this was older but I cannot setup just for instagram. Apparently its integrated now and wont let you set up without setting up FB and Whats app. I dont like using either of those. Thanks for the tutorial. I wish had not changed that
I hope you're able to find a work-around!
Thank you so much for simplifying this! Very helpful!
Best tutorial. Explained very well. It helped alot. Thank you
Great tutorial. I was able to set one up walking with you through the process!
Yay great news!
The best tutorial ever! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Sister for the detailed video ☺
Absolutely!
Such a great, clear, and easy to follow video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you - this made it easy to implement. I look forward to setting it up.
Very good tutorial for beginners,but I have a question that I would like to ask you:What link do you put here for the automation, because I don't get it. I'm waiting for your answer to understand all the video that helps a lot!
Thank you!
What about adding a PDF guide that isn't on the website? Do you need a landing page?
@@virginiaziulu7504 Yes you’ll need to send them to a landing page or opt-in page!
Awesome job demonstrating this. Thank you.

Yes I believe you do but I'm not 100% sure!
@@nutritionbusinesscoach Thank you!
Stephanie, my business partner and I have worked for hours to set up Many Chat. We have it set up to messenger, but it is not seeing our Insta business account that is connected to our Facebook business account. Can you help?

tutorial is great! but I cant activate the automatization unless subscribe the pro trial!! It was suposed to be free option!!
Yes me too! That’s why I’m here. We’re supposed to get 3 keywords for free
Clear and easy to follow-thank you!
Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I will be using this for my business.
I have a question for every reel do we need to create a new automation for each?? Or can we use the same automation for all reels? Is that in the pro plan ?
On the pro plan you can set up an automation to fire on all posts and reels. Otherwise you'll have to duplicate the automation for each post on the free plan!
Hi Stephanie! Create instructions for Instagram. 👏 Do you have any tutorial to set up an automation for Facebook with a unique comment?
I'm not sure how to do this myself but hopefully some other videos on TH-cam might be helpful for you!
@@nutritionbusinesscoach Thank you so much for your reply. I figured it out and I'm improving some automation now. Have a wonderful week. 💖
Hi, i have a question; do i need to use a button? When people comment on my reel, i would like to sent a message to start a conversation. Not link of to send something. Is that possible?
Yes you can absolutely just send a message and not include a button!
Very helpful thank you❤
once i connect my facebook, it does not get me to the dashboard screen....any assistance would be appreciated !!
Were you able to figure this out? Hopefully all is working now!
This was super helpful, thank you! I'm having a little trouble, though, perhaps you could help? My automatic messages are being sent, but they're cut off for the receiver! The button is there, but only the first sentence or so of my message. Any thoughts how I could fix that?
Good info, very easy to follow. Thank you!
Question for ya- I'm going to create an ad, but in the ad it says to comment "XYZ" to get discount. Idk that people would be clicking on the ad, commenting, or both. So would I choose the action "comments on post" or "when they click the ad"??
Thank you for step by step set up process
You're so welcome!
Very clear! Great tutorial! Thanks!
This was perfect! Thank you so much. Very easy to follow.
Thank you so much, short and sweet, exactly to the point!
How many chats can we setup with the free account Manychat?
It’s supposed to be 3, but it’s not allowing me to set up any without the pro!
Does it give you a list of those who showed interest or responded?
How to you link the free ebook. Do you just add the link I created in Sendowl or Gumroad to Many Chat?
Yep! You can add your ebook to a platform like the ones mentioned or even upload it to Google Drive and grab a link from there!
Very descriptive! Thank you
You're so welcome!
thank you for this content,it is really straight forward
Glad it was so helpful!
This was great, thank you!
You explained this so perfectly! You're awesome! Thank you for your help!
Thank you for the video. Very well explained.
Hi! I am able set up the automation for DM's but I am unable to get it working for posts or reels. Can you help?
Were you able to figure this out?
Thank you for simplifying this. Others have complicated it and it turned me off. Thanks again
This was a great and easy to understand tutorial/ thank you
So glad to hear this!
Thank you so much! This really helped! I set it up as you explained!
Once I click Set Live it says click to add an action I’m not sure what that means
This means you didn't set up step 2 of the automation correctly and you'll need to add an action (like send a DM) :) Hope this helps!
This was soooo simple and helpful! Thanks so much!
Hi Stephanie. After I add my keywords, in that +anel, I don't have the "Public auto-response in Feed" button. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you. Ana

hey! What if i dont have a facebook account? Im stuck on the first page /:
I believe you have to have a Facebook account to use Manychat
if you're on the free plan and someone comments the trigger word before the automation is set up- will the automation capture that trigger or only the comments after it has been set up?
@@BeComingNyrell Only comments after the trigger is set up I believe! So what I do is post and then quickly head to Manychat and put the automation live (if I’m using the free account)
@@nutritionbusinesscoachis there even a free option anymore? It doesn’t let you set up anything without telling you that you need Pro
Is it possible to configure ManyChat to respond only to comments and avoid sending messages via DM?
I'm not 100% that this would work, but you could try to set up the first part of the automation by selecting the post, the keywords you'd like to use in the post, and the replies you'd like to use in the comments and then the second step would be action > live chat > mark conversation as closed.
Instead of the link, what action do I need to do when a user enters their email address so they can do that?
