AI assistant for Instagram DM_inbox. Integration of Manychat and Open AI.

How it works

The workflow titled "AI assistant for Instagram DM_inbox" is designed to facilitate the management of direct messages on Instagram by integrating Manychat with OpenAI. The workflow operates as follows:

1. Trigger Node:

The process begins with a trigger node that listens for new direct messages in the Instagram DM inbox. This node is responsible for initiating the workflow whenever a new message is received.

2. Manychat Node:

Once a new message is detected, the workflow utilizes a Manychat node to retrieve the relevant user data associated with the incoming message. This step ensures that the assistant has context about the user who sent the message.

3. OpenAI Node:

After gathering user information, the workflow passes the message content and user data to an OpenAI node. This node processes the input using OpenAI's language model to generate a suitable response based on the message received.

4. Response Handling:

The generated response from OpenAI is then sent back to the Manychat node, which formats the response appropriately for Instagram.

5. Final Output:

Finally, the formatted response is sent back to the Instagram DM inbox, allowing the AI assistant to reply to the user seamlessly.

Throughout this process, the workflow efficiently manages data flow and ensures that responses are contextually relevant and timely.
