Example code:

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Flow;

use ManyChat\Dynamic\Chat;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

{
    /**
     * Handle the incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function __invoke(Request $request)
    {
        $chat = new Chat();

        $text = new Text('Welcome to ManyChat Dynamic Response');
        $chat->reply($text);

        return $chat;
    }
}

Example response:

{
    "version": "v2",

$buy->withProduct(function (Product $product) {
    $product->name = 'T-Shirt';
    $product->price = 2000;
});

# Update Customer requirement
$buy->withCustomer(function (Customer $customer) {

# or

$flow = Flow::create('content20180221085508_278589');

Example node/flow url:

# URL: https://manychat.com/fb152631685162536/cms/files/content20191211074127_716888

The `content20191211074127_716888` is the `id` of the node/flow.

$dynamic->setHeader('x-header', 'value');
$dynamic->setHeaders([
    'x-header-2' => 'value',
    'x-header-2' => 'value'
]);

# Add HTTP request payload
$dynamic->setPayload('key', 'value');
$dynamic->setPayloads([
    'key-1' => 'value',
    'key-2' => 'value'

use ManyChat\Dynamic\Callback\ExternalCallback;

$chat = new Chat();

$external = new ExternalCallback('https://example.com/api/flow/2');

$external->setHeader('x-header', 'value');
$external->setHeaders([
    'x-header-2' => 'value',
    'x-header-2' => 'value'
]);

# Add HTTP request payload
$external->setPayload('key', 'value');
