How to "Listen" a WhatsApp Reply in the middle of the Scenario?

I have a WhatsApp Trigger at the beginning of my scenario, listening news messages from anyone… That’s ok…

Then, my Step #2 is sending a new message to the user, asking him to click one of reply buttons…

Now, the Step #3: I need to “read” the user’s reply and know what reply button he chose… If he clicked reply button #1, go this way… If he clicked reply button #2, go the other way…

But I can’t find a solution to Step #3… It’s my first day using Make and I would love to get some help, please…

Bye,

I don’t think this is possible using a single scenario run, because scenarios are stateless and runs to completion.

To “wait” for user input you’ll need to store the users previous answers in a database, and then in a new scenario execution, use another route (using filters) based on where the state of the interaction is at.

The reply will contain the label you chose for the button, and you can use that value with a Path node to conditionally select what action to execute next. Just make sure the labels are unique.

As another option, you could use 2Chat [1] to watch for new messages and run the same kind of filtering using Path.
