I am looking to send a message to a given Facebook Messenger bot user upon a webhook trigger (from Zapier) - logs show me I receive the web hook, but I didn’t manage to send message to the user - I don’t know what info I need to do so. I thought Bot Connection ID and users ID would be what I need, and i have that, but I don’t know how to use it to get message sent properly. Something to do with Response path?.. any help would be greatly appreciated. Greetings from Switzerland.

Is it the same user that you want to notify each time? In that case, you need to get the Response Path from a message received from that user (check the logs), then send a message to that same response path when you get the trigger from Zapier.
If you wanted to allow many users to subscribe to get the triggers from Zapier, you can use our feeds service, and send to an RSS feed in Zapier.
So basically you need your Zap to publish to RSS (instead of webhook) and then set up the RSS feed URL on the Feeds > New Item trigger (in Flow XO). Then use another flow with a Feeds > Subscribe action to let your Messenger users subscribe to the updates.
Let us know how you get on!
