Instagram Drip Campaign

Automate scheduled Instagram messages using drip campaigns triggered by subscribers or groups.

What is a Drip campaign?

A Drip Campaign is a scheduled and structured flow of messages created for customer onboarding journeys. You can define which messages to be sent or can create the whole onboarding journey using the timeline-based messages and chat flow. It only applies to the new customers starting their conversation with the bot.

These drip campaigns can be used for creating a funnel and doing timely communication to your new customer to make them aware, act, and adopt your product or services.

It can be easily created on the BotPenguin dashboard using the guide below
