WhatsApp Flows Integrarion
# 👀feature-requests
s
Hi, everyone! Currently I have an agency and I manage many bots to my clients using bot press. Recently, many of them started to request to use WhatsApp flows inside their bots, to capture leads, booking and etc I did a connection to show the WhatsApp flows using the test mode, but I couldn’t receive the answers. The integration was by hard code and not friendly like the UI. Please, I checked the code on GitHub and I saw that botpress doesn’t has an integration yet. “Simple integration”, including the type “flows”. Do you guys have any perspective to have it on bot press? Maybe only have the support to we hook responses using flows.

why would you use Flows and not the built-in automation features available through Botpress?

@bumpy-butcher-41910 They're different things. WhatsApp flows is a new way to capture data native inside whatsapp, specially structured data , can check more on this link - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/flows
It verifies if the webhook return (value) from WhatsApp is a message, if it’s not, the flow will continue. The problem is this part. We need also check the type flows and not only ignore it
@bumpy-butcher-41910 did you saw the message here?
b
yep - I don't have any updates for you at the moment, sorry!

Do you guys have a Public roadmap to follow the next releases? It will be very helpful

@straight-magazine-77931 , As a workaround, you can configure Flow with an endpoint. As soon as the user responds, it triggers a call to the BotPress API to run a response trigger/action.

@cool-psychiatrist-71166 sure! I know that, but I would like to use only with the botpress API
