About a whatsapp automation.

 

When it's the other way around, it's easy with an external request and a webhook, but in this case, I can't find any useful trigger in ManyChat.

In ManyChat, n8n cannot directly trigger WhatsApp automations because ManyChat only supports triggers from incoming messages or user actions. To work around this, I would use ManyChat’s API or an external webhook. From n8n, I can send a request to ManyChat’s API to start the automation for the user or segment I want.
