How to pass variables from N8N to use in Typebot.
Hey guys! I'm calling a Typebot flow via N8N and I need to pass the name in the request body. However, I'm having trouble understanding how to get this name from Typebot when calling it via N8N.
Tare you talking about typebot rest api and using it on n8n?
MUse QueryString in the url mybot.typebot.com/?name=john

DI'm actually passing the 'name' variable into an HTTPrequest endpoint and calling a flow in Typebot. I want to use this 'name' variable that I passed as a parameter in Typebot. Do you understand?
DI understand that you are passing the parameters via URL. Now, I would like to know how to receive and use this data in Typebot using the N8N with the WhatsApp API.
MExplain....
DI have an HTTP request endpoint on N8N that invokes a flow on Typebot. So far so good, as the flow in Typebot works normally. Now, what I would like to do is pass a variable called 'name', which is in N8N, and use it in Typebot. For example, I want to start the flow in Typebot by calling the person by the name that came from N8N. That's what I want to accomplish, understand?
Tyou already set text input node and save the variables on your typebot? if you are using n8n endpoint you dont need pass the body parameter cause every variables will be send by typebot
Tset your webhook on n8n like this
Tand add respond to webhook node on n8n
Tyou can pass your parameter on n8n with JSON custom on respond webhook
Tand on typebot save that parameter as variables too
Tso the chain node must be end with respond webhook node on n8n if u want pass any parameter from your flow on n8n to typebot
DThat's not it yet. Maybe I'm not able to express my question clearly. Basically I want to transfer data from n8n to Typebot and manipulate it within Typebot.
Tyou cant send data from n8n to typebot because typebot not generate own webhook so you must do tricks on typebot by send dummy post to n8n endpoint and build your flow to be able "Get your n8n data" then pass it with respond webhook
Tor for more complicated case you can playaround with this docs https://docs.typebot.io/api-reference/chat/start-chat
DI understand, I'll do a search on documents, thanks!
