The “WhatsApp Flow response received” trigger allows you to automate actions when a customer successfully submits a WhatsApp Flow. This lets you collect form responses and save the data directly into SleekFlow for follow-up, segmentation, or reporting.

ℹ️ This trigger only runs when the customer successfully submits a response through a WhatsApp Flow.

 

 

Set up "WhatsApp Flow response received" trigger node

  1. Click on the WhatsApp Flow response received trigger node to open up its node form, which will appear on the right side of the screen

  1. The node form contains the following fields for you to configure your action:
  • Set up
    • WhatsApp Business Account: Select the WhatsApp business account you would like to set this trigger for
    • WhatsApp channel: Select the WhatsApp channel you would like to set this trigger for
    • Select WhatsApp Flow selection type:
      • Template: Select the specific template where customer submit their response. When you click on the template field, a “Choose template” modal will appear.
      • Flow: Select the flow where the customer submit their response

💡 What’s the difference between selecting a template vs. a flow?

  • If you select template, the flow will only be triggered when the customer submits a response through that exact template
  • If you select flow, the flow will be triggered whenever the customer submits a response through any template that includes that flow

Use flow template for more targeted triggers. Use flow ID if the same flow is reused across multiple templates.
