I am creating a subscription list on news reports and offers on Whatsapp.
So I’m creating a feature for the user to manage it’s subscription and would like to dynamically return a list to the user once he/she requests it showing all subscriptions he has and all other available subscriptions.
I am saving everything in my database via HTTP requests, so ideally I would return the data when sending the user the list of subscriptions.
Is there a way to do this? I think on messenger it is the Dynamic Block, and I know in the UI there is no way to do this for whatsapp. But could I achieve this through the API?

Can I send content dynamically on whatsapp?

Use an external request on Manychat, then map all the response values to User Fields.
Then use the user fields to display the data.
It’s more work, but it’ll get the job done. ;)
I’ve used this strategy many times when I didn’t have control over the service providing the information and it works perfectly.

I’ve added an action of Get Row By Value and I’ve set the Google column titles as User as custom user fields. It’s working for me for messenger (I can see the correct data from Google sheets as text messages) but does not work on Whatsapp (no text is shown whenever I user the custom user field in the text).
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
+6Yes it will work with Google Sheets.
And if the lookup is failing, it’s most likely because it’s not finding the key value you’re looking for when you do the “Get Row by Value”. Solve the search to make sure it finds the right data, and it should work.
WOW!
Thank you for such a fast reply!
So - the exact same parameters are working for an identical flow that fetches the info but sends it on Messenger. To me that means the problem is somewhere else. No? I mean, if it’s working on Messenger but not on Whatsapp it’s probably because I didn’t organize the content properly… but I don’t know how to improve that part.
Thoughts?
+6Check the Live Chat conversation and see if the user fields are being filled in as you expect.
This will help you debug and find the issue.
If you need help debugging we can setup a debugging call so I can help you ;)
Can it work with audio message?
