Instagram automation, from comment to collectible

For Plages Électroniques, Cannes Tourism used ManyChat to automate the Instagram journey. A comment containing PE2026 triggered a DM with a direct path to the festival collectible.

At the festival, QR codes on the Palais des Festivals screens and the on-site team opened the same experience.

Every collection also created one prize-draw entry and the first stamp in the Explore Cannes digital passport.

Make Instagram work at festival speed

The activation had to reach people before the festival and feel just as simple once they arrived.

ManyChat powered the Instagram comment-to-DM automation, while one shared collection journey connected social and on-site QR touchpoints.
