How can I get the specific ID for a particular workflow run?

Question

I created a workflow to collect daily user information.

However, the user missed answering yesterday’s questions, and we also sent today’s message.

The user first submitted answers for today, then later submitted answers for yesterday by selecting the previous options.

I want to store these as two separate conversations, but they are being treated as the same one. I’m using an n8n webhook to save the responses to a Google Sheet—what can I do to separate them?

I tried a solution where I generate a unique ID via the n8n webhook and store it in a user field, but it gets replaced every time. Is there any variable or method that allows storing a unique ID for each workflow run so it remains distinct?

​@Akshay Vayakit all depends on how you set up your custom setup…There are multiple options that you can consider: for example, using multiple variables, storing some sort of memory, resetting the values of the variables if the day has changed, etc etc.It all depends on your setup and your specific needs…Depending on what you need, you’ll need to build your custom scenario in Manychat and n8n so it works as you wish it to work.
