ManyChat for TikTok automates DM conversations triggered by keywords in videos or comments, letting creators turn viewers into email subscribers without manual replies. It runs within TikTok's own API constraints — a 48-hour messaging window and a 10-message cap per conversation — making it best suited for a keyword-trigger-to-email-capture funnel rather than open-ended chat. Comment-to-DM is not yet available on TikTok in the US, so ManyChat's TikTok flows rely on direct keyword DMs instead.
