Hello ManyChat Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature that would be really useful for WhatsApp automation inside ManyChat:
👉 Allow a Tag Update to send a WhatsApp Message directly to one or more specified WhatsApp numbers, from the account holder’s WhatsApp number.
Why this matters:
Currently, when I tag a conversation as Order Completed, I need to use Zapier to notify my delivery riders. The challenge is:
-
Zapier’s WhatsApp integrations are limited and rely on pre-set templates.
-
It adds extra steps and costs to the workflow.
-
It’s not flexible enough when I want to assign orders to specific riders quickly.
How it would help:
-
I could set up an automation so that when a tag like Order Completed is applied, a WhatsApp message is automatically sent to Rider A or Rider B (or multiple numbers).
-
This would streamline order handling and reduce dependency on third-party tools.
-
It would also improve real-time communication for logistics, deliveries, and similar use cases.
Example use case:
-
Customer chat is tagged as Order Completed.
-
ManyChat automatically sends:
-
A confirmation to the customer.
-
A delivery notification to the assigned rider’s WhatsApp number.
-
This feature would save time, cut down on costs, and make ManyChat much more powerful for businesses managing deliveries or field operations.
Thank you for considering this!
