How to incorporate Instagram chatbots into your marketing campaigns using SendPulse
Set up chatbot auto-replies on Instagram
People often ask questions like: "Do you have this item in stock?", "How much does it cost?", "What are the delivery terms?", "Where is your shop located?". If you know the most common questions people ask, you can set up a chatbot to give real-time responses to customer questions. You can also build your bot conversation flow using reply buttons — they will encourage users to engage with your Instagram chatbot.
Help your team work together and connect several live agents to Instagram chats
Manage multiple chats simultaneously — add your team members to your SendPulse account to provide one-on-one interaction with your Instagram users.
Promote your chatbot on Instagram Direct with the help of ads
Promote your products and services using an Instagram bot. To engage users with chatbots, you can launch a targeted ad campaign with the goal of "Instagram Direct." Set up a welcome message in your Facebook Ad account and specify the key phrase that will be the trigger for launching chatbot flows. The user will choose a relevant message and go through the flow. When chatting with your bot, a customer may ask to consult a natural person — you can switch the chat to your manager.
Accept payments
Turn your chatbot into an effective sales channel for your business. Integrate payment systems and add payment buttons to chatbot flows that allow taking your customer orders directly in the chat.

Simple tools for your Instagram workflow automation
Visual chatbot builder
Create your chatbot architecture and logic structure, developing a detailed scenario with the messages you want to send. First, specify the keywords or events that will trigger auto-replies. Then, use different chatbot elements to set up rules and conditions for displaying and sending your chatbot messages.
API requests to get data from external systems
Send requests to third-party systems and get information to display directly in messages to your subscribers. For example, if you are aware of the subscriber city, you can send weather forecasts, or if you know the product name your customer has been looking for, display the search results in your chatbot.
Filters for sending relevant messages
Send messages based on subscriber interests, personal information, and purchase history. With the help of filters, you can send webhooks to your system, turn off bot auto-replies the moment you need to, open a live chat with agents, assign and update tags or variables, and start other chatbot flows.
User input for saving information from users
Receive information from your subscribers by adding the “User input” element to your chatbot flow. Later you can use this information to personalize your messages and segment your audience.
Files, images, audio, video files, and emoji
