Projects using ManyChatProjects using ManyChatGDPR Aware Instagram DM Automation with ManyChat
PROJECT CATEGORY: Automation
ROLE: AI Automation Specialist & ManyChat Automation Developer
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
I optimized and restructured an existing Instagram DM automation system built with ManyChat, focusing on improving the user journey, simplifying the automation logic, and implementing a reliable unsubscribe mechanism.
The project involved reviewing an existing automation flow, understanding the client's business requirements, removing unnecessary follow-based conditions, improving the messaging structure, and creating a dedicated opt-out workflow that allows users to stop receiving automated messages.
The final system provided a cleaner and more user-friendly Instagram automation experience while giving the client greater control over how their audience interacts with the automated messaging system.
THE PROBLEM:
The client already had an Instagram automation flow running in ManyChat, but the existing setup required refinement to better match her intended customer journey.
One of the main issues was that the automation depended on users following the Instagram account before continuing through the flow. The client wanted the "Follow me" message to remain as an optional call to action rather than functioning as a condition that blocked the user from continuing.
Another key requirement was to provide users with a clear way to opt out of future automated messages. The client wanted a simple and reliable unsubscribe mechanism that could be managed directly within ManyChat.
The challenge was therefore to modify the existing automation without unnecessarily rebuilding the entire system, while maintaining a simple and user-friendly experience.
THE SOLUTION:
I reviewed the client's existing ManyChat automation and restructured the relevant parts of the flow based on the updated requirements.
I removed the dependency on the Instagram follow action as a mandatory condition and adjusted the flow so that following the account could remain as an optional engagement prompt.
I then implemented a dedicated unsubscribe workflow using a custom keyword trigger. When users wanted to stop receiving messages, they could use the designated opt-out keyword, triggering an automated response confirming that they had been removed from further messaging.
The solution was designed to be simple to manage, easy for users to understand, and integrated directly into the client's existing ManyChat environment.
HOW I DO IT:
01 — Requirement Analysis
I reviewed the client's existing ManyChat setup and identified the specific parts of the automation that needed to be modified rather than unnecessarily rebuilding the entire system.
02 — Existing Flow Analysis
I examined the existing "3 Ways Automation" flow to understand its structure, triggers, messages, conditions, and user journey.
The client specifically identified the existing automation as "3 Ways Automation."
03 — Flow Optimization
I adjusted the existing automation logic so that following the Instagram account was no longer required as a condition for the user to continue through the experience.
04 — Unsubscribe Automation
I implemented a dedicated unsubscribe workflow using a custom keyword trigger and an automated confirmation message, allowing users to opt out of future automated messages.
The client's requested implementation used a custom keyword concept and a confirmation flow when users wanted to stop receiving messages.
05 — Testing & Validation
I reviewed the automation flow to ensure the unsubscribe trigger and confirmation message were connected correctly and that the workflow was active within the ManyChat environment.
06 — Client Handover
After completing the implementation, I provided the client with a working automation setup and guidance around the updated workflow.

THE RESULT:
The result was a cleaner and more streamlined Instagram automation system that better matched the client's intended customer journey.

A dedicated unsubscribe workflow was also implemented, giving users a clear way to opt out of future automated messages and providing the client with a simple mechanism for managing user preferences within ManyChat.
The project successfully improved the structure and usability of the client's existing automation without requiring an unnecessary rebuild from scratch.
PROJECT OUTCOME:
Optimized an existing Instagram ManyChat automation by removing unnecessary follow-based restrictions and implementing a dedicated keyword-driven unsubscribe workflow for improved user control and engagement. AI Airbnb Chatbot for Property Inquiry Automation & Guest Support
Designed and deployed a custom AI chatbot automation system for Airbnb hosts to streamline guest communication, automate booking inquiries, and improve customer support response times.
The client managed multiple short-term rental properties and struggled with handling repetitive guest questions, delayed responses, and manual check-in coordination. Their goal was to implement an AI-powered customer support assistant capable of managing inquiries 24/7 while delivering a seamless guest experience.
Using ManyChat, OpenAI integration, Zapier automation, and Google Sheets as a lightweight property database, I developed a conversational AI chatbot that automatically responded to property inquiries, shared booking information, answered frequently asked questions, and delivered personalized check-in instructions.
The AI assistant was trained to handle common guest interactions including:
Property availability requests
Booking information
Pricing inquiries
Check-in and check-out instructions
WiFi and property access details
House rules and amenities
Guest support automation
Zapier workflows were used to automate data synchronization between platforms, while Google Sheets stored dynamic property information that the chatbot could retrieve in real time. OpenAI API integration enabled natural conversational responses and improved the overall guest interaction experience.
Key Features Included:
AI chatbot development
Conversational AI for Airbnb hosts
Automated guest communication
AI customer support assistant
OpenAI API integration
ManyChat chatbot setup
Zapier workflow automation
Booking automation workflows
Automated check-in instructions
AI workflow setup
Real-time property information retrieval
AI-powered FAQ assistant
Hospitality automation system
Results Achieved:
Reduced manual guest support workload by 70%
Improved guest response times to near instant
Increased booking engagement and customer satisfaction
Automated repetitive communication tasks
Created a scalable AI customer service workflow for property management
This project combined AI automation, chatbot integration, workflow automation, conversational AI, and customer service automation to help Airbnb hosts manage guest interactions more efficiently while delivering a professional and responsive booking experience.
