Hi, I’m trying to build a task management system for children and parents using Manychat (WhatsApp), Google Sheets, and Make.com. I’d appreciate help in building this solution as I got stuck with this implementation.
Goal
Enable children to mark task completion, show them a relevant task list to choose from, get parent approval, and update token balance accordingly.
Existing Architecture
Google Sheets:
- Contacts table: Parent and child information
- DigitalWallet table: Token balance tracking
- StatusTasks table: Task management
Manychat:
- Users tagged as “parent” or “child”
- Each contact (parent/child) has a user field named ChildID
Required Flow
- Child clicks “Completed Task” button
- System needs to:
-
- Query Google Sheets for today’s incomplete tasks
- Dynamically generate Manychat menu/buttons
- Maintain state during approval process
- Child selects task
- Parent notification and approval flow
- Token balance update upon approval
What I Need Help With
· How to dynamically show only the relevant tasks for the specific child (ChildID) in ManyChat?
· Best way to let the child select a single task from the list?
· How to integrate Make.com (or just ManyChat) to send the approval request, wait for response, then update Google Sheets?
· Any tips for handling delays (parent might approve hours/days later) or general best practices?
I’d particularly appreciate insights on the Make.com and Manychat module configuration.
Any help and guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
