ManyChat and Instagram DM Integration Setup
Step-by-step process was presented for integrating an N8N AI agent with Instagram DMs using ManyChat.
Users must connect their Instagram account to ManyChat through settings and import a provided ManyChat X N8N template.
The automation flow includes a 10-second wait after messages to allow batch replies and a customizable follow-up message if the contact does not respond.
Guidance was given for replacing an app script, with a tutorial available in the community for detailed steps.
N8N Workflow and Testing
Instructions were provided for setting up and linking N8N webhook and response nodes.
Configuration details included setting webhook methods, response mapping, and connecting input expressions for message, session ID, and agent memory.
Users were shown how to test the integration by sending a message through Instagram and verifying the full response loop through ManyChat and N8N execution logs.
The setup was finalized by toggling the workflow live, updating URLs, and confirming agent response behavior.
Trigger Settings and Final Validation
Users were instructed to modify trigger settings in ManyChat to ensure automation runs for every message rather than only once every 24 hours.
A final agent test was demonstrated to confirm successful integration and live operation.
Decisions
Use of provided community templates for setup — Leveraged to simplify and standardize the integration process.
