Hi everyone 👋
I’m currently building automated WhatsApp funnels via ManyChat for coaches and consultants in the DACH region — and I came across something that could be a real gamechanger for WhatsApp automation: WhatsApp Forms (or in-app forms).
These are forms that open directly inside WhatsApp when someone clicks a link or an ad – allowing the user to fill in fields (like name, email, preferences, etc.) without having to send a keyword first to trigger the flow.
I’ve seen that platforms like Spoki already offer this kind of native WhatsApp form experience, and it would be incredibly helpful for ad campaigns and smoother lead onboarding.
My question:
-
Does ManyChat currently support this type of native in-WhatsApp form?
-
If not yet, is it something that’s planned or already on the roadmap for 2025?
-
Or is there any known workaround (structured messages, template hacks, etc.) to simulate this?
Would love to hear if anyone has insight on this or if the product team can share any info.
This feature would make WhatsApp ads SO much easier to optimize. 😄
Thanks a lot!
Katharina
