How do I connect Manychat to Lodol?

Authenticate Manychat once from your workspace and every action and trigger it supports becomes available to drop into a workflow. There is no glue code to write or maintain.

Manychat

Marketing AutomationMessaging

Work with the contacts in a Manychat account across Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email: find one by name, email or phone, update their name, tag them, set or clear their fields, read and set the bot's own fields, and send a contact an automation built in Manychat.

Actions

Steps your workflow can run in Manychat.

Get account detailsThe Manychat account this connection reaches: its name, username, category, avatar, timezone and whether it is on a Pro plan. The cheapest way to confirm a connection is alive, and the way to tell which of several Manychat accounts a workflow is pointed at - an API key belongs to exactly one.

List tagsEvery tag on the account, with the id each one is deleted by. Manychat returns the whole list in one call - there is no page two - so the count is the account's total.

Create tagAdd a tag to the account so contacts can be segmented by it. Returns the new tag with the id every other tag action uses. Tagging a contact does not need this first: 'Add tag to contact' creates the tag if the account does not have it.

Delete tagDelete a tag from the whole account. Manychat also strips it from every contact carrying it, and this cannot be undone. To untag one contact and leave the tag alone, use 'Remove tag from contact' instead.

List contact fieldsEvery contact field defined on the account, with its type. A contact field holds a different value for each contact - 'Favourite roast', 'Last order date'. For the bot's own account-wide variables, use 'List bot fields'.

Create contact fieldDefine a new field that every contact can hold a value for. The type is fixed at creation and decides what values the field accepts afterwards, so pick it deliberately: Manychat offers no way to change it later.

List bot fieldsEvery bot field on the account, with its current value. A bot field is one value for the whole bot - today's promo code, whether the shop is open - unlike a contact field, which holds a value per contact.

Create bot fieldDefine a new account-wide variable the bot can read, optionally with a starting value. As with a contact field, the type is fixed at creation.

Set bot fieldChange an account-wide bot field's value, choosing the field from a list. Use 'Set bot field by name' instead when the field is named by an earlier step rather than picked here.

Set bot field by nameChange an account-wide bot field's value, naming the field rather than picking its id. Saves a lookup step when the field's name is known or comes out of an earlier step.

List automationsEvery automation built in this Manychat account, with the folders they are filed in. The 'ns' of an automation is the only identifier 'Send automation' accepts, and this is where it comes from.

Send automation to contactStart one of the account's automations for a contact. This is how a workflow messages someone through Manychat: the automation was built in Manychat, so Manychat applies its own sending rules and channel choice to it. Manychat allows 100 sends per contact per hour.

Get contactOne contact in full: names, channel handles and opt-ins for Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, SMS and email, when they last interacted, every tag they carry and every contact field's value.

Find contacts by nameSearch the account's contacts by full name. Manychat caps this at 100 results and offers no second page, so a search that hits the cap is reported as such rather than pretending to be complete. For an exact match, use 'Find contact by email or phone'.

Find contact by email or phoneLook one contact up by their email address or their phone number - an exact match, not a search. Set one of the two, not both. Nothing matching is an answer rather than a failure: 'found' comes back false and the workflow can branch on it.

Update contactChange a contact's first name, last name or gender. Only the fields filled in here are sent; the rest are left alone. Email, phone and opt-ins are not offered: Manychat treats writing them onto a contact as an import, which needs an account permission ('Import Contacts') that Manychat support grants by hand and never during a trial.

Add tag to contactTag one contact. Manychat creates the tag on the account first if it does not have it, so this does not need 'Create tag' in front of it.

Remove tag from contactTake a tag off one contact. The tag itself stays on the account and every other contact keeps it - 'Delete tag' is the one that removes it everywhere.

Set contact fieldSet one contact field's value on one contact - the per-contact fields, not the bot's own - or clear it with 'Clear the value instead'. The field must already exist on the account; 'Create contact field' adds one. Manychat matches the field name without regard to case.
