Action to send a whatsapp message to another phone number

Hello ​@Mikeymike ,
To achieve this, you'll need to add a step with an external request to the Manychat API, sending a flow to the other contact.

The first step is to create a separate flow that contains the message you want to send to that contact.

Then, in your current flow — where you want to trigger this message — add an external request block to send the flow to the other contact.

You’ll need the contact’s ID for this. You can store it in a custom field or in a bot field. If it’s always the same contact, you can also insert the ID manually in the external request block.

Here’s a screenshot showing the configuration:
 

Hi, Thanks for your message. When you say ‘Contacts ID’ you mean phone number?

or they have to be another manychat user?

It must be the ManyChat ID. If this contact is not yet registered in ManyChat, you’ll need to create it first. Only after that will you be able to send the flow that delivers the message.

 

Has to be a Manychat user? What about this question? Whats the difference?

Hi,

Just to recap the use case: When a user (=contact?) finishes the chatbot flow, i want to send a message to my whatsapp number to tell me. So i found my API id and entered it into bearer. what to put into subscriber id? thnx
