What you need
- A GlowRedefined Facebook Page with administrator access.
- A Zoom meeting link for the Live Skin Science Hour.
- A ManyChat account connected to the Facebook Page.
- An optional Google Sheet, Airtable base, or CRM to track photo submissions and questions.
1. Secure the Zoom meeting
- Sign in at Zoom and select Schedule.
- Name the meeting GlowRedefined Live Skin Science Hour.
- Set the correct date, time, and time zone.
- Enable a passcode and Waiting Room. Consider requiring registration for an attendee list.
- Save the meeting and copy the attendee join link, not the host start link.
2. Connect Facebook to ManyChat
- Create or sign in to your ManyChat account.
- Select Facebook Messenger and connect the GlowRedefined Facebook Page.
- Approve the requested Page and messaging permissions.
- If you will also promote the event on Instagram, connect the corresponding Instagram professional account in ManyChat Settings.
3. Create contact fields
In ManyChat, create these custom user fields before building the automation:
Ingredient Label Photo— image or fileSkin Science Question— textZoom Link Sent— boolean, text, or tag
4. Build the submission flow
- Create a new ManyChat flow named Skin Science Hour — Photo Submission.
- Add a welcome message:
- Add a User Input block that accepts an image or file. Save it to
Ingredient Label Photo. - Add a second User Input block that accepts text. Save it to
Skin Science Question. - Add this confirmation message:
5. Deliver the Zoom link
- Add a Condition block after the confirmation message.
- Set the condition:
Zoom Link Sentis not set (first-time submission). - In the True branch, add a message with the Zoom join link:
- Add an action to set
Zoom Link Sentto true so the link is not sent again on repeat messages. - In the False branch, add a message:
6. Set the flow trigger
Choose one or both trigger methods:
- Comment trigger: When someone comments a keyword (e.g. GLOW or SCIENCE) on a specific Facebook post, ManyChat automatically sends them a DM starting the flow.
- Direct message keyword: When someone DMs your page with a keyword, the flow starts immediately.
Configure both triggers in ManyChat under Growth Tools → Comment Growth Tool and Keywords respectively.
7. Optional: Log submissions to Google Sheets
- In ManyChat, add a Zapier or Make (formerly Integromat) action block after the photo and question are saved.
- Create a Zap or scenario that triggers on a ManyChat webhook and appends a row to your Google Sheet with: Contact name, Facebook ID, submission timestamp, question text, and a note that the photo was received.
- The photo file itself must be stored inside ManyChat or downloaded manually; Google Sheets stores only text and URLs.
