Facebook Messenger Bot to Register WordPress Users via ManyChat API

A client of mine had a grand vision for their Black Friday marketing initiatives. They were having a lot of success with Facebook Messenger and used ManyChat to automate conversation flows. For Black Friday, they wanted to give their Facebook contacts an easy way to join their WordPress website.

With their marketing team, I configured a ManyChat flow with Dynamic Blocks to process API requests to their WordPress website. The flow collected various information from the user and then sent a request to a custom WordPress REST API endpoint that I developed. Depending on the information provided, the custom endpoint would register the user in WordPress, tag the user in Keap, reward Gamipress points, and then respond with a success message containing their generated password and a sign-in link.
