How can I create an Instagram bot using PHP/Laravel to send cold messages to potential clients in order to promote my website services and secure new orders? Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on setting up the bot, automating the message-sending process, and ensuring compliance with Instagram’s policies.
Welcome to the Make community!
This is a Make.com forum and not a programming forum (PHP/Laravel).
Do you have an issue with a Make.com scenario?
I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting a request in the Hire a Pro category.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

i don’t need to hire for a professional and if this platform does not help for it then what’s this for?
Moreover, i dont need a code for this i was just looking for a right guidance.
Anyhow, thanks for your reply.
Hi @awais_shafiq,
I would recommend to use manychat instead of php/larravel. Manychat is a visual chat builder for all meta messagings. I use this myself for clients via whatsapp (same process for instagram) and its very easy.

Thank You So Much Boss 
Boss is it Free to Use?
Also how can i automate it through its interface like to gain potiential clients so i can give my services.
is it possible to send one custom messages to multple users to give my services of web-based apps and websites?
I am not sure what you mean with
although you can do the following:
By using variables.
so for example person A should get a message that contains service 1.
person b should get service 2 since. this can be done with variables and flow management with conditions.
Brother basically, i would like to know that is it feasible for something like Person A send a common message to multiple Users for instance, Person B to Person Z?
just one common message by adding their userids or something else related to it.
so your own client would text a different client?
No, just me vs clients (random IG Users).
I think I understand what you mean. This is possible with giving the users tags after some actions. You can start different workflows when they get a certain tag for example.
Brother actually i will write a common message where i’ll describe myself that which type of services i can give to other people and then will send to different IG users through the Bot by giving their IG userids or something like that and if some will be interested in knowing my work then i can get an order and that person can also get my service.
this is something my need. is it feasible for manychats to do so?
So you first send a message (please provide how and where).
After this message the chatbot starts?
the client needs to trigger the bot always, this can be via a keyword for example. so when they would be interested, they will send the word ‘services’
yay! i got you brother.
But Brother how can i send my message now to different users like i ain’t gathering comments also not other stuff like that.
manychat can provide us a facility so we can send direct DMs without their comments on posts, stories and etc.
Meta (facebook, whatsapp and instagram) do not approve cold texting, except for template messages (whatsapp has this i know for sure)
can you elaborate more? you want to send messages to leads or to people that you do not know?
to the people i don’t know so, they can read my cold message and take my web development services if they are interested.
you will need to have some kind of action on the side of the client. otherwise meta does not approve.
Did this help @awais_shafiq ?
