Conversation bots on ManyChat as workflow event source

ManyChat is the chatbot platform for Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, SMS, and WhatsApp, the channel-of-channels for direct-response brands. One trigger, New Subscriber, fires when someone opts into your bot on any connected channel (the payload includes the channel they came from, so a workflow can route differently for Instagram vs SMS subscribers). Nine actions cover the subscriber lifecycle and content delivery: Find Subscriber by Name, Find Subscriber by Phone, Get Subscriber (full subscriber record), Add Tag to Subscriber, Remove Tag from Subscriber, List Subscribers by Tag, Send Content to Subscriber (a one-shot message), Send Flow to Subscriber (kick off a multi-step automation). The integration uses a ManyChat API key from your account settings. The integration is mostly tag-driven, mirroring ManyChat's own segmentation model, most workflow logic resolves to "tag this subscriber, let the ManyChat flow handle the next steps." Common pattern: a Shopify Order Completed fires Add Tag to Subscriber with the product purchased, which triggers a ManyChat flow that sends an Instagram DM with order tracking.

Actions

Do anything ManyChat can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
ManyChat Add TagApplies a tag to a subscriber — tags drive ManyChat flow triggers. For "external signal → tag for the matching flow" patterns.
Find ManyChat Subscriber by NameLookup by partial name match. Useful for sales workflows that need to find a known subscriber to push a message.
Find ManyChat Subscriber by PhoneLookup by phone number. For WhatsApp Business workflows where the customer's phone is the join key.
Get ManyChat SubscriberReturns a subscriber by ID with profile, tags, custom fields. The standard lookup for context-enrichment workflows.
List ManyChat Subscribers by TagReturns subscribers with a specific tag. Useful for "all subscribers tagged X → fan out the targeted message" workflows.
ManyChat Remove TagRemoves a specific tag. For exit-state transitions ("they unsubscribed from this campaign → remove the tag").
Send ManyChat ContentSends pre-configured content (cards, buttons, media) from the ManyChat library to a subscriber. For "trigger this specific content card based on external signal" workflows.
Send ManyChat FlowFires a specific ManyChat flow (multi-step conversation) for a subscriber. For "qualifying lead matched ICP → start the high-intent qualification flow" patterns.
Set ManyChat Custom FieldSets a custom field value on a subscriber. Custom fields drive ManyChat conditional logic; updates from external sources enable richer flow personalisation.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect ManyChat once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every ManyChat field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
