AI-Powered Instagram Sales Bot: Automate Your Profits

Ever wondered how influencers are raking in thousands through social media? The secret sauce is often an automated DM chat system. In this guide, I’ll show you how to create your own Instagram sales bot that messages users when they comment on your posts, grabs their email, sends it to your CRM, and provides them with your lead magnet. Let’s dive in!

What You’ll Need

• Make.com account
• ManyChat account
• CRM (optional, but recommended – e.g., MailChimp)

Step 1: Set Up ManyChat

1. Go to ManyChat and click “Get Started”
2. Choose Instagram as your platform

2. Set up your trigger (e.g., when someone comments on a specific post)
3. Choose your keyword (e.g., “AI” or “crypto”)
4. Create your welcome message and conversation flow

Example flow:

Bot: "Hey! Thanks for your interest. Want the free AI resource from the video?"
User: "Sounds good!"
Bot: "Awesome! What's your first name?"
User: [Enters name]
Bot: "Great! What's your best email? No spam, I promise - just valuable content!"

Step 5: Test and Go Live

2. Check that data flows correctly to Make.com and your CRM
3. Set your ManyChat flow to “Live”
