Created by PX Marketing, Modified on Tue, 19 Aug at 5:27 PM by PX Marketing

Overview

With PXME, you no longer need a separate ManyChat subscription. PXME’s native automation system allows you to build and manage conversational workflows for Facebook and Instagram messaging directly inside your account.

This eliminates the need for third-party chat tools, keeping all your automations in one central platform.

Why This Matters

Save Money: Cancel external subscriptions like ManyChat.
Centralized Control: Build and manage all chat workflows directly inside PXME.
Multi-Platform Ready: Run campaigns for both Facebook Messenger and Instagram DM.

Step 1: Organize Your Campaigns

Go to Automation in PXME.
Create a Social Media folder to store all your messenger workflows.
For each campaign (giveaway, nurture sequence, webinar signup, etc.), create a new workflow.

? Pro Tip: Keep each campaign separated for clarity and easier editing.

Step 2: Build Your Workflow

Click Create Workflow → Start From Scratch.
Rename the workflow to match your campaign (e.g., “FB Giveaway Flow” or “IG Workshop Signup”).
Add a Trigger (e.g., “When someone messages your Page”).
Build your Actions (messages, delays, conditions, etc.).

Step 3: Use the Correct Messenger Actions

For Facebook campaigns → Use Facebook Interactive Messenger.
For Instagram campaigns → Use Instagram Interactive Messenger.

This ensures:

Messages send properly.
Buttons display correctly.
Automations trigger as expected.

Step 4: Test & Launch

Run through the workflow as a test user.
Verify messages fire in the correct order and buttons are interactive.
Once confirmed, set the workflow Live.

Best Practices

One Workflow Per Campaign → Don’t mix campaigns in a single workflow.
Clear Naming Conventions → Example: “IG Nurture Flow” or “FB Giveaway Messenger Flow.”
Conversational Messaging → Use short text + buttons to keep engagement high.
Monitor Performance → Use PXME analytics to optimize engagement and conversions.
