Yes you can definitely collect emails and trigger email automations without having the person go to a landing page.
There are 2 ways to do that:
- You use Manychat’s email service. It’s not as powerful as other email software, but it’s easy to use, well-integrated and gets the job done!
- You add the contact to your email software and trigger automations from there. Manychat has some native integrations with some Email software (Mailchim, ActiveCampaign, etc), and for other platforms, you must use either their API or some service like Make.com or Zapier.
For Groove in particular, I’m not sure if they have an API. I have the software, I just asked their support if they have an API or if it can be done via Zapier or Make. I’ll ping back once they reply.
