What is the correct type of automation to use in ManyChat when a flow is initiated via the sendFlow API and the contact is created using the createSubscriber API?
I would appreciate guidance on the best way to design this flow in ManyChat.
In my implementation, contacts are added through the createSubscriber API, and the automation is triggered using the sendFlow API. Once the flow is triggered, I want the system to automatically send additional messages to the contact over the following days.
The intended structure is:
-
A messaging sequence that runs for 5 days
-
One message every 24 hours
However, when I start the flow using sendFlow, I encounter limitations that prevent me from chaining messages using Smart Delay. Based on my understanding, flows triggered through sendFlow may not reliably support delay-based steps, even when a Smart Delay of several minutes or hours is configured after the first message.
My main question is:
What is the recommended architecture in ManyChat for implementing a multi-day messaging sequence when contacts are created via createSubscriber and the flow is triggered via sendFlow?
Specifically, I would like to understand what type of automation (flows, sequences, rules, tags, or another mechanism) should be used to ensure the messages continue automatically once the first message has been triggered through the API.
