Looks awesome! Do you plan on integrating Slack, SMS, and other bot channels in the future? Also I'm curious to see how you are thinking about the business model if you are willing to share. :)
@torbahax we already have a massive bot builder on Telegram, and yes, we are thinking about other platforms :) The business model is likely going to be a monthly subscribtion with a free plan always available.
A few questions. How do you turn it off? What if someone just messages you and doesn't want to sign up for the bot broadcasts?
This is such a simple and effective tool -- and Mikael's expertise from Telegram is a huge advantage!
Hey Mike! Cool stuff. If I'm a small business or startup, how can I leverage ManyChat, or bots in general, to help my business, sales and customer support etc?
@eisforinnovate ManyChat is very versitile in terms of what you can do with it. From broadcasting content to your subscribers to creating a content catalog that can showcase your menu, for example, if you are a restaurant.
Also you can set up keyword replies to the most frequently asked questions, which will provide instant help for your customers.
Congrats @mikedyang on launching ManyChat for Facebook messenger. It's by far the easiest facebook bot builder I've come across.
Quick question, What's the difference between not creating our own Facebook app and linking it to ManyChat like many other services do and not connecting an app at all like ManyChat is doing at the moment?
@justruky @mikedyang I guess its just way easier this way..I didn't have to worry about making an app or anything and I have a bot
@akshay2104 chatfuel requires you to make an app and connect it to their chatbot api, which requires facebook to approve the app that takes a lot of time, I find it's a killer feature that ManyChat doesn't require making an app and connecting it to their API. +1 @mikedyang
@sandrojazzar glad you found it easy to use! We were working very hard to get the UX right.
We think that Facebook and other messaging platforms are going to open up more and more APIs and this will allow platforms like ManyChat to do more and more awesome things :)
Currently we are working on more feautures for audience engagement like polls, surveys, interactive content, etc.
Hey @mikedyang, congrats on the launch! Wish you all the best with your product! Will try ManyChat as soon as I have some free time :)
@mikedyang Looks great. For an idea i'm working on, i'd like to combine automation with human interaction. Is that possible. When someone asks something the bot can't answer, can the admin of the page step in?
Hey Mike, congrats! Amazing team and excellent execution! Keep rocking in the Chatbots world!
Hi, Mike. Seems like a great idea. Just a remark considering your landing page: please remove the "mailto:" from your contacts link at the landing page. Using a mailto tag in 2016 feels quite inferior.
Signed up, connected FB account, and then the tutorial begins. I get to the "Press the 'Send to Messenger' button to try it out" dialog, and I click "Send to Messenger," and nothing happens. Screenshot: https://img42.com/onh40
@zefareu can you message me on FB? Will try to solve this asap

@mikedyang @zefareu I got the same bug... Looks like a super cool product, can't wait to try it out.
@talsiach can you send me a message? trying to debug this right now. http://m.me/mikedyang
@mikedyang ha. listen, you're probably slammed with ans questions here. but any chance you could mail me for a very quick exchange about you potentially offering our simple api so companies can block malicious links to prevent malware/phishing et al? :) paul@metacert.com
@allnick great question – content broadcasting is allowed (we have CNN bot, WSJ bot, etc), it's the promotions and the ads that are forbidden.
