Troubleshooting Notes #
Cannot see JSON statistics:
Unfortunately, at this time, ManyChat cannot track JSON statistics. You can see the disclaimer under “?”. Log in to the “Clicked” section of the JSON statistics. It says: “Due to platform limitations, we absolutely cannot track impressions and opt-in message statistics for growth tools. The first time we can track a user's time is when he/she clicks a button in your opt-in message.”However, once people interact with the first message of the opt-in sequence, they will be recognized by ManyChat, and from that point on, ManyChat starts collecting its own statistics. This way, if you choose the second message of the opt-in message flow, you will see the exact number of people who received and interacted with this message.
The selected message to send was not sent/no response to clicks:
First, make sure your opt-in message has been published in the “Opt-in Actions” tab of the “Growth Tools” - unpublished changes will be indicated by a small yellow circle near the “Modified” button.
Additionally, ensure that you inserted the correct JSON code after inserting the opt-in message, which has been generated in the “Settings” tab of the “Growth Tools.”
You only need to replace the JSON code in Ads Manager after you have edited the opt-in message.
