GuideFlow.

Turn a keyword comment into a delivered guide.

GuideFlow connects Instagram comments to a guided DM conversation. A matching keyword triggers an opening message. After the person taps Get the guide, the workflow checks whether they follow the account, then delivers the guide or prompts them to follow and check again.

Start in Instagram: post SEOUL on the sample post.

This portfolio walkthrough is a local simulation. It does not connect to Instagram or send DMs.

Inside the work.

The problem

Sending guide links by hand creates repeated work, especially when a post receives many keyword comments. The operator also needs to see which conversations are waiting, completed, or need attention.

The decision

Use an opening DM to invite the next step. Check follower status after the person interacts, deliver the guide to followers, and give non-followers a follow-and-recheck path. Keep campaign keywords, messages, guide links, and pause controls in one console.

The tradeoff

The live workflow depends on the connected Instagram account and Meta API permissions. An uncertain send result needs review rather than a blind resend that could duplicate a message.

The evidence

The source includes a durable work queue, webhook verification, bounded retries, and an operator comment queue. The interactive walkthrough demonstrates the follower and non-follower paths with sample data.

The handoff

Operators manage campaigns and review comments from the console. Live setup includes connecting the account, configuring messages and guide links, and testing delivery for that account.
