A Free ManyChat Alternative for Instagram Creators? We Built It Open Source + FREE!

Описание и применение

EngagePilot – открытая платформа для автоматизации комментариев в личные сообщения в Instagram, позволяющая авторам и агентствам быстро настроить простую работу без дорогостоящих SaaS‑решений.

Задача

Creators need a simple way to turn comment keywords into private DMs without paying for a full SaaS platform.

Результат

EngagePilot enables creators and agencies to automate comment‑to‑DM workflows without relying on paid SaaS, offering full control over code and deployment.

Рабочий процесс

• Create a campaign and set a keyword (e.g., "LINK").
• A user comments the keyword on a post or Reel.
• Meta sends the comment event to EngagePilot via webhook.
• EngagePilot matches the keyword and sends a private DM with the configured message and link.
• Optionally, EngagePilot posts a public reply under the comment.
• The process repeats for each matching comment.
• The system handles authentication, rate limits, background tasks, and error handling to remain reliable.

Источник

You create a campaign and choose a keyword, for example LINK. Someone comments that keyword on an Instagram post or Reel, Meta sends the event to EngagePilot, and the person gets a private reply with your message and link.

The first prototype was relatively straightforward, but handling real‑world automation introduced more complexity.
