How to Get Started with Manychat on Zapier
To create your first Zap with Manychat, click Sign in to Manychat and select one of your accounts. Keep in mind that Pro subscription is required.
Select one of your accounts and click Connect (your Free Subscription accounts will show up with “Upgrade to PRO” button). The selected account will be added to your Zapier, so you can use it in this Zap or connect a new one.
Test your connection with Test trigger button to make sure your account is successfully synced. After you create a Trigger, Zapier will fetch some info from your Manychat account and use it as a sample.
Once you create your Zap and complete all the steps, you will be able to retest the action or turn on the Zap.
Now try connecting your Manychat Account and making your first Zap!
How to activate Trigger Zap action
Once you connect Zapier to your Manychat account, "Trigger Zap" action will show up in the list of actions:
In case you cannot see the action, probably the connection between Zapier and Manychat was lost. Reconnecting it in Zapier's My Apps will help "Trigger Zap" appear.
I don't see Zapier in the list of integrations
Zapier is not listed in the list of integrations due to the fact that it is an intermediary-type of application, unlike ActiveCampaign, Google Sheets, and others. Zapier allows integrating Manychat with a side app without having to use the Integrations tab.
