Integrating ManyChat with Zapier: Seamless Data Extraction Guide

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Integrating ManyChat with Zapier allows for a streamlined approach to automating workflows and extracting valuable information. Here's your step-by-step guide to pulling information from ManyChat into a Zapier Zap.


Prerequisites:



  • A ManyChat account with administrative privileges

  • A Zapier account


Step 1: Trigger Event Selection



  1. Log in to your Zapier account and click on 'Make a Zap'.

  2. Choose ManyChat as the trigger app.

  3. Select the trigger event you need, such as 'New Subscriber' or 'New Tagged User'. This will start the Zap when the event occurs in ManyChat.


Step 2: ManyChat Account Configuration



  1. Click on 'Sign in to ManyChat'.

  2. Authenticate your ManyChat account by logging in with your credentials.

  3. Select the corresponding ManyChat account you want to use in the dropdown.


Step 3: Set up Trigger



  1. Customize the trigger by selecting the necessary options and fields that you want to capture.

  2. You may need to test the trigger to ensure Zapier can successfully retrieve information.


Step 4: Action Event Selection



  1. After configuring the trigger, choose an action app where you want to send the data (e.g., Google Sheets, Slack).

  2. Choose the action event within that app, like 'Add New Row' or 'Send a Message'.


Step 5: ManyChat Data Mapping



  1. Set up the action by mapping the ManyChat data fields with the corresponding fields in the chosen action app.

  2. Ensure all variables are correctly matched to prevent errors.


Step 6: Testing and Activation



  1. Test the Zap to confirm that it functions correctly. This will send an actual data payload from ManyChat to the action app.

  2. If successful, turn on your Zap.


Tips for Optimization and Troubleshooting:



  • Regularly check the Zap history for errors and take corrective actions.

  • Utilize filters and searches within Zapier for more complex workflows.

  • Update the ManyChat bot settings if there are changes in the flow that impact the data you wish to capture.


Integrating ManyChat with Zapier simplifies data extraction, making your chatbot workflows more efficient and powerful. With proper setup, your automated processes will elevate customer engagement and ultimately drive business growth.
