Manychat → HighLevel Migration: Double Triggers
Hey everyone 👋, I recently rebuilt a client’s full Manychat automations inside HighLevel. One feature I really miss is “wait for email.” I tried to recreate it using “wait 1 hour + check if email is filled,” which works kind of, but not perfectly. - Sometimes the flow continues without an email, or - The lead gets stuck waiting too long. The bigger issue though: - We run multiple comment / story-reply automations. - At the start I set a “manychat” tag so the bot won’t answer while the automation is running. - At the end we set a “bot start” tag so the appointment bot can take over. That part works fine in theory - but some chats still break, and so far I haven’t found a stable workaround. Example: A lead enters through the lead magnet flow, but later also clicks into the application flow. In Manychat, flow logic made it easier to block overlaps. In HighLevel, triggers (“customer replied,” tags, etc.) often fire simultaneously → result: both flows run in parallel and talk over each other. 👉 Question: How did you solve this? Do you use event-based triggers (“contact changed: email updated”), loops, or a completely different workaround? Would love to hear how others are handling this. Maybe someone has a clean automation template for replacing Manychat, or could give feedback on my automations and spot the mistake 🙌
