ManyChat is one of the most popular apps for creating Facebook Messenger bots that you can use in your ads and marketing.

With Deadline Funnel + ManyChat, you can add authentic deadlines to your automated sequences in ManyChat - so that after someone subscribes to your ManyChat sequence you can let them know they have a specific number of days or hours to take advantage of your special offer.

Still no clue what we're talking about? That's okay! Here's a great guide on Messenger Marketing and Facebook Chatbots that might help. :)

In order to follow along, you will need the following:

This guide also assumes that you already have a Deadline Funnel campaign created and that you will be integrating this campaign with a ManyChat sequence and your email sequence at the same time. This means that the ManyChat sequence you integrate with will need to start by collecting a person's email address.

If you are just going to be sending messages from ManyChat, please use this guide instead.

1. Click on the Integrations tab in Deadline Funnel and then choose your campaign to set up your ManyChat integration:

2. Click 'Add New Integration':

3. Select 'Create Deadline Funnel Tracking' and click 'Next':

4. Make sure that ManyChat is selected and then click 'Next'.

6. You can find that under Settings > API in your ManyChat account:

7. Once you're connected, you're going to select the Custom Field in ManyChat that will store each lead's unique deadline. You will need to already have this Custom Field created in ManyChat so that you can select it from the dropdown. You can create this Custom Field by navigating to Settings > Custom Fields and clicking the +New User Field button in the top right-hand corner:

Note: This will need to be a text field.

8. Once you've created the Custom Field in ManyChat, you can select it inside of Deadline Funnel here:

9. Now copy the Webhook URL that populates below that:

10. Go into ManyChat and navigate to your sequence and click 'Edit Message', then select +Dynamic from the options at the bottom of the screen and make sure it's in place to trigger right after the subscriber has confirmed their email address:

11. Then paste the Deadline Funnel webhook there:

12. Next you'll need to navigate to Body and click on Add Full Subscriber Data (this allows Deadline Funnel to grab the information it needs from ManyChat to trigger the deadline) and hit Save:

13. Next you'll need to navigate back to the Emails tab in the Deadline Funnel admin and copy your special Email Link:

14. Then go back into your ManyChat and paste the link wherever you are sending people to your special offer page in the sequence. It's important that you remove everything after the 'em=' and replace it with the 'Email' placeholder

Add yourself to the sequence in ManyChat, and then go into Analytics >> People Tracked in the Deadline Funnel admin to verify that the email has been added there.

Now, whenever someone enters your sequence in ManyChat, their deadline will begin, and when they click on the Deadline Funnel email links in your ManyChat sequence, we will be able to make sure their tracking continues to be accurate

even on other devices and networks!
