Overview #

The Visual Flow Builder provides a drag-and-drop workspace where creators construct complex marketing funnels visually. You can define exact keyword conditions, link workflows to specific Instagram posts or reels via the Instagram Media Picker, customize DM formats (Plain Text, Quick Replies, Generic Carousels, Button Templates), and preview simulated user interactions live.

What You Can Do #

  • Add and connect Trigger, Condition, and Action nodes on an infinite canvas.
  • Select specific Instagram media items (Reels, Posts) or apply rules across all posts.
  • Configure keyword matching filters with case-insensitive logic.
  • Design rich Instagram DM messages: text messages, button links, quick reply pills, and product carousels.
  • Set randomized public comment replies to increase natural engagement and avoid spam detection.
  • Simulate and test the full conversational experience in the live interactive Mobile Preview panel.
  • Save, validate, and publish workflows directly to your live Instagram profile.

  1. Click on the Trigger Node on the canvas.

    • User clicks welcome icebreaker
  3. If targeting specific content, click Select Media to open the Instagram Media Picker and choose a post or reel.

Step 2: Define Keyword Conditions #

  1. Click the Condition Node connected to your trigger.
  2. Enter trigger keywords separated by commas (e.g., BUY, DISCOUNT, LINK, PRICE).
  3. Set match mode to Contains any keyword or Exact keyword.

Step 3: Configure Response Actions #
