ManyChat Automation for Lead
Capture and Messaging
This section shows how I use ManyChat to build simple but powerful conversational
marketing systems. Instead of relying on basic auto-replies, I set up complete automation
flows that help brands collect leads, qualify them, and respond instantly. The images walk
through how Comment-to-DM triggers, message sequences, and logic-based workflows
work together to turn social media engagement into real, high-intent leads that the
business fully owns.

The image (page 3) shows the main dashboard of the ManyChat interface. It displays different automation
templates that help capture leads and engage users across platforms like Instagram and Messenger. From
this view, you can launch quick automations for fast responses or build deeper conversational flows using the
Flow Builder.
The cards such as “Auto-DM links from comments” and “Grow followers from comments” highlight an effective
comment growth strategy. By setting up these triggers, anyone who comments on a post can automatically
receive a DM, turning simple interactions into real leads while boosting engagement at the same time.
You can also see platform icons for Instagram and Messenger on the templates, showing how ManyChat
supports cross-platform messaging. Whether someone interacts through an IG Story or a Facebook message,
all conversations flow into one place, making it easier to track leads without missing any.
There’s also an “Automate conversations with AI” module, which uses AI to handle questions naturally, reducing
support workload and improving response quality. Finally, the “Send affiliate product links” template shows
how ManyChat supports conversational commerce, helping increase clicks and conversions through
personalized private messages.

The image (page 5) shows the Automation Repository inside ManyChat, where all previous automations are
stored, managed, and tracked. It gives a clear view of how different flows are set up using trigger-based
actions across Instagram and Facebook. This setup helps turn public engagement—like comments—into
private automated conversations that support lead generation and sales.
One of the automations, “IG DM Automation…,” is triggered when a user comments on a specific post or Reel
using the keyword “CULTURE.” This is an example of intent-based automation, where the system listens for
certain words and immediately sends a DM with relevant content. This Comment-to-DM strategy boosts
organic reach and brings more users into the funnel.
On the right side, the data columns show the number of runs and CTR (Click-Through Rate). Seeing a “100%”
CTR means the message sent in that automation was highly effective and matched the audience’s interest.
This helps with ongoing funnel optimization and testing.
The “LIVE” and “STOPPED” labels show which automations are active or paused, helping maintain clean and
updated campaigns. Finally, the IG and Messenger icons confirm that the flows were built for different
platforms, ensuring each audience gets the best experience possible.

The image (page 7) shows the backend view of a ManyChat automation, where the trigger and action steps
of the workflow are set up. It highlights how a “Comment-to-DM” automation is built for a recruitment
campaign, turning Instagram comments into qualified leads automatically.
The trigger is set to fire only when users comment with specific keywords like “apply,” “application,” or
“interested.” This setup helps identify high-intent leads, making sure the system responds only to people who
clearly want more information. It keeps lead quality high and avoids wasting messages on random comments.
The “Public Replies” section is set to send random responses such as “Info sent!” or “Just sent you a DM.” Using
different replies helps prevent the account from looking spammy and also boosts engagement on the post,
which can improve visibility on Instagram’s algorithm.
The workflow then connects to an “Instagram Send Message” action, where the DM includes application
details and an email address. This helps move the user from the comment section into a private message,
reducing friction and improving conversions.
The green connector line between the trigger and the message block shows a clean and direct workflow,
ensuring every interested user receives an instant automated response.

The image (page 9) shows the Message Editor Interface in ManyChat, where the actual message sent to
users is written and configured. In this example, the message is part of a recruitment automation that turns
Instagram engagement into a simple, organized application process.
The message text “Hi! Thanks for your interest… To apply, please email…” is an example of conversational
copywriting. The script gives clear instructions and a short checklist (Resume, Confirmation, Transportation),
helping filter out unqualified candidates early. This makes the screening process easier and ensures only
serious applicants continue to the email stage.
On the left, the “Edit Button” panel shows different logic tools like “AI Step,” “Condition,” “Randomizer,” and
“Smart Delay.” Even though this step only sends one message, these tools show that the builder can create
more advanced workflows, such as checking if someone has already applied or sending a follow-up reminder
later to improve completion rates.
The grey connector linking this message to the trigger shows how the user journey flows smoothly from the
comment to the DM. The Instagram icon and “Send as Private Reply” label confirm the setup follows
Instagram’s messaging rules while still converting public comments into private conversations, which is key for
lead generation and recruitment automation.

The image (page 11) shows the Visual Logic Map of a ManyChat automation. It highlights how the system
connects a user’s public action (commenting on a post) to an automatic private response (DM). This setup is
built on event-driven workflows, meaning everything runs on its own without manual effort.
The “When…” block on the left is set to trigger when a user comments on a Post or Reel. This is the core of
acquisition trigger setup. By listening for comments, the automation uses behavioral marketing to turn active
engagement into instant leads. Anyone who shows interest publicly is immediately moved into a private
conversation.
The arrow leading from the Trigger to the “Instagram Send Message” step shows a smooth, frictionless user
experience. The direct link ensures users get an immediate reply, so the system responds at the moment their
interest is highest.
The “Instagram Send Message” block contains the application details (“To apply, please email…”), which
demonstrates operational automation. Instead of manually answering repetitive questions, the workflow sends
clear instructions automatically, keeping the process fast and consistent.
The Instagram icon and message preview confirm channel-native design, meaning the message is formatted
correctly for Instagram DMs and follows platform rules while still delivering important information clearly.

summary
ManyChat Automation for Lead
Capture and Messaging
In summary, these examples highlight how automated messaging and smart workflow
design can create a smooth Automated Customer Experience (ACX). By combining clear
logic with effective copy, I build systems that reduce manual work while increasing lead
flow and engagement.
Overall, this project demonstrates how simple interactions, like comments or messages,
can be converted into a scalable, measurable sales pipeline through ManyChat
automation.
