Paste them in. Copy your keywords and messages from ManyChat, paste them on the Moving from ManyChat? page, and Waveloop turns each line into a comment automation. You check each one and choose its post before anything is created. Waveloop never connects to your ManyChat account. It works on every plan, including Free.
What to paste
One automation per line: the keyword, a colon, then the DM. A link in the DM becomes its button.
LINK: Here's the guide you asked for https://example.com/guidePRICE | COST: Prices are here https://example.com/prices
Separate several keywords with | or a comma. From a spreadsheet, copy the columns keyword, DM, then button text and link.
Move them over
- Log in, open Automations and click Moving from ManyChat?. Your Instagram account needs to be connected.
- Paste your lines and click Add to the table.
- Choose the post or reel each one runs on. Use one post for all puts one post on every row.
- Check the keywords, DM, button text and link. Add a public reply if you like.
- Click Check. The button shows your count, like Check 5 automations. Anything to change shows under its row.
- Click Create.
They're created switched off, so switch each one on when you're ready. Or switch on Switch them on now before you create them.
Good to know
- No button text? The button says Open link until you change it.
- Names. ManyChat's
{{first_name}}becomes{name}. Names in DMs are on Pro, so take it out on Free. - Any post or Next post is Pro. On Free, each automation runs on one post or reel.
- Up to 200 at a time.
- Same rules as the CSV import. A keyword a Live automation already uses gets a warning. Nothing is blocked.
- Your rows stay in the tab until you create them.
- No flows. Each automation is a keyword on a post, a DM with a link button and an optional public reply. Add follow to unlock (Pro) once it's created.
Switch off the same automations in ManyChat, so nobody gets two DMs. Then comment a keyword from another account to test one.
