DM Automation
Automated reply system for Instagram and Facebook direct messages.

- Colombian SME — retail sector
The problem
Before automation, the team was manually answering dozens of DMs per day. The same questions — pricing, availability, order status — over and over, and anything arriving outside working hours waited until the next day.
Our role
Process mapping, flow design, implementation and rollout.
The solution
We implemented a flow that detects query type (pricing, availability, orders), responds instantly with current information, and escalates to a person when the conversation calls for it. The automation does not replace the team: it takes the repetitive part off their hands and leaves them what needs judgement.
Flow
01DM received
02Classification
03Automatic reply
04Human escalation if needed
Architecture
- →Message intake through Meta webhooks (Instagram and Facebook)
- →Flow orchestration in n8n
- →AI-based classification of message intent
- →Automatic reply using current information
- →Escalation to a person when the query falls outside the script
