Manychat

Overview

ManyChat is a chatbot builder focused on Instagram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp conversations. You design flows with a visual builder, start them from triggers such as keywords or comment replies, and collect contact details or tags along the way. It is often used to answer common questions automatically and to send follow-up messages to people who engage with a post. ManyChat suits creators, coaches and small businesses that receive many repetitive messages in social inboxes and want structured replies. Flows work best when they are short and clear. Platform messaging rules restrict what you can send and when. Advanced needs such as complex data handling or heavy custom logic may call for a more flexible tool. Feature and contact limits differ between free and paid plans.
