## About

Chat marketing automation platform for Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger campaigns

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Community testing in March 2026 confirmed that ManyChat returns an HTTP 451 sanctions block page citing OFAC and other programs when reached from Syria. A community volunteer contacted the company at its listed sanctions address in March 2026 and a second time in June 2026, but both rounds drew only automated acknowledgments and no substantive review yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-06-11 — Company Responded. ManyChat's Compliance Team responded via an automated email from sanctions@manychat.com acknowledging receipt of the sanctions/restrictions request and stating they will review it and respond soon. The reply arrived within seconds of the outreach and uses the same generic template as the March 2026 acknowledgment, indicating an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-06-11 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer emailed ManyChat's compliance team at sanctions@manychat.com requesting a review of their sanctions restrictions to restore access for users in Syria, attaching supporting documentation. This is a second, independent outreach round following the initial contact in March 2026.
- 2026-03-10 — Company Responded. ManyChat's Compliance Team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from sanctions@manychat.com. The response acknowledged receipt of the sanctions/restrictions request and indicated they will check it and respond soon. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review — it arrived within seconds of the outreach and contains generic template language.
- 2026-03-10 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed ManyChat's compliance team at sanctions@manychat.com requesting a review of their sanctions restrictions to restore access for users in Syria. The email referenced the 2025 OFAC sanctions lift, EU sanctions removal, and included links to the U.S. Treasury announcement and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources. This is the first outreach to ManyChat.
- 2026-03-09 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that ManyChat is blocked in Syria. Accessing app.manychat.com from a Syrian IP returns error code 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons) with the message: "Manychat is currently unavailable in your region." The block page explicitly references OFAC Sanctions Programs, BIS Export Administration Regulations, HM Treasury, and Office of Financial Sanctions, and provides the contact address sanctions@manychat.com for inquiries.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
