Drop No. ManyChat supports Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok, and has never supported LinkedIn. To do the same comment-to-DM job on LinkedIn you need a tool that works through your own LinkedIn account, such as Drop by Gelee.
01Why ManyChat is not on LinkedIn
ManyChat is built on the messaging platforms Meta and TikTok open to developers. LinkedIn does not offer an equivalent for personal accounts: there is no official way for an outside app to read your post's comments and message the people who left them.
So there is no ManyChat integration to switch on, and no Zapier step that bridges the two. Tools that do this on LinkedIn work through your own account instead.
02What carries over from Instagram
- A post that gives something away and asks for one word
- Everyone who comments the word gets the link privately
- A public reply under each comment, which lifts the post
- A list of everyone who asked, to follow up later
03What changes on LinkedIn
| Instagram with ManyChat | LinkedIn with Drop | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can get the DM | Anyone who comments | Your connections straight away; everyone else once they connect |
| Speed | Seconds | Within minutes, 8am to 6pm your time |
| Daily volume | Thousands | Up to 100 DMs and 75 public replies per account, ramped up slowly |
| What gets you in trouble | Rarely volume | Sending faster than a person could |
The connection rule is the big one. On the one real post we counted, 52 of the 60 people who commented the keyword were not connected to the author. A LinkedIn tool that only messaged connections would have reached 8 of them.
04How Drop does the ManyChat job on LinkedIn
You paste the post, pick the word, and say what you are sending. Drop checks the post every 5 minutes for 14 days. It costs $99 a month after a 3-day free trial, or $397 once for 36 months.
FAQQuestions people ask
Is there a ManyChat LinkedIn integration?
No. ManyChat does not support LinkedIn, and there is no official way to connect the two.
Can Zapier connect ManyChat to LinkedIn?
No. Zapier cannot read the comments on your personal LinkedIn posts, so there is nothing to trigger from.
Can I use ManyChat and Drop together?
Yes. They work on different platforms. Many creators run ManyChat on Instagram and Drop on LinkedIn with the same lead magnet.
