I created a system with manychat + n8n. However, manychat gives random data without waiting for the data coming from n8n.
What kind of solution can I apply for this?
When I asked GPT about the issue, it said that manychat is timing out, so it does not wait for the data from n8n.
Question
Manychat Timeout Error
+6Hey
To solve this, you have to create an asynchronous automation, where n8n sets a custom field, and then your automation continues. You need to use Manychat’s API for that.
So here’s the basic workflow that you have to setup:
- Send the External Request in Manychat to your n8n system
- Your n8n starts the process
- When n8n is done, it uses Manychat’s API to set a custom field (and possibly also send a flow)
- Once the custom field is set, your Manychat automation continues and sends the reply to the user
This requires a more complex setup, but once you have it it works like a charm!
If you need help setting these up check out the troubleshooting calls, we’ve done this multiple times ;)

First of all thank you for commenting.
I do not have much knowledge about this subject. as far as I can see you are very knowledgeable. could you explain how I can do this in a simple way with a bit more detail?
