Hi all!

I want to create an automation so that every time a user registers for a webinar, they will get a WhatsApp message from the bot.

The problem is that I cannot understand how to send a message to a non-subscriber or create an automation for adding new contacts/subscribers in ManyChat.

Many thanks!

You need to use Manychat's API and a connector such as Make.com or Zapier.

The basic steps are:

  • New registration on Webinar
  • Webinar app triggers new registrant, sends info to Make or Zapier
  • Use Manychat's API to:
    • Create New Subscriber (if not created yet)
    • Set any custom fields necessary (like hour of the event)
    • Send the Flow containing the Whatsapp Message template.

I've done this for multiple clients over the years and with different webinar/booking/CRM platforms (Calendly, Acuity, Zoho CRM, etc etc). If you need help with this or just want it done feel free to reach out.


without zapier or any third party software 
we cannot use any API to save contact and then get subscriber id and after that send message

OR 

Is there any API that we can send a message to number directly

Hi, ​@Muhammad Muzammil!

If your Tool/App lets you customize HTTP requests, you could use the Manychat API directly.

 

You could use "findBySystemField” or "findByCustomField” to get the Contact ID as response and use "sendFlow” to send an Automation to them.

 

Here you can check Manychat's API Documentation: https://api.manychat.com/swagger#/Subscriber/ef59064a933ef7464083a39c520a274b

 

Most of the tools doesn't offer many possibilities with API requests, because of that a “middleware” is necessary. 

Hope this helps! 🙌
