Trigger in GroupMe

Features

I am looking for a way to create a trigger in GroupMe which will prompt a lookup and response back to GroupMe. I am having trouble finding a trigger. I am only seeing actions. Is a trigger possible?

Hey PC

I’m not 100% sure if I understand what you want to do, so my answer is my best guess.

If it is not what you wanted, please elaborate on you desired outcome. :+1:

So what I got from your post, is that you want a tricker (watch/webhook) for a GroupMe chat?

Steps to do this, would be:

Create a seperate scenario with a Make.com webhook. This will give you an URL for the webhook, that you will need in the next part.

Using the “Make an API call” of the GroupMe app in Make.com and following the documentation and setup of a bot in GroupMe: GroupMe Developers
(See the Callback section in the documentation)
You should be able to create a post request to GroupMe, with something like the code below as the body, and setup a bot that will ping back any message written in a group.

Code example for the GroupMe “Make an API call”:

URL: https://api.groupme.com/v3/bots
Method: POST
Query(qs): key=token value=“yougroupmebottoken”
Without quotes

The request body, shoul look something like this:

“body”: {
“bot”: {
“name”: “whatever_name_you” want",
“group_id”: “id_of_group”,
“callback_url”: “https://the_url_of_the_webhook_created_in_step_1.com”
}
}

You might need “Content-Type”: “application/json” in the header section of the GroupMe “Make an API call” feature.

If everything works, next you want to go to the seperate scenario, with your webhook, press the “Test” or “Wait for response” button and then post a message in the group, so Make.com can learn what the response from GroupMe looks like.

Hope this helps, and I wasn’t to far off. :grin::+1:

Do ask if something is not working or this was not what you wanted.
