We are looking for an experienced automation expert or developer to create a seamless integration between ManyChat and our WordPress site using the WordPress REST API and Make (formerly Integromat). The goal is to automate property listing recommendations based on user preferences collected through ManyChat.

Responsibilities/Detailed Workflow:

1. ManyChat Setup:
   – Configure ManyChat to collect user preferences (e.g., location, room type, rent budget, number of open contracts) through `User Input` blocks.
   – Implement validation rules to ensure data integrity.

2. Integration with Make:
   – Set up webhooks in ManyChat to send user preferences to Make.
   – Create scenarios in Make to handle incoming data from ManyChat.

3. Data Normalization and Validation:
   – Implement data normalization and validation within Make to standardize user inputs.
   – Ensure inputs are correctly formatted for API requests.

4. Fetching Listings from WordPress:
   – Use Make’s HTTP module to send GET requests to the WordPress REST API, filtering listings based on validated user preferences.
   – Ensure efficient handling of API requests to manage large datasets.

5. Processing and Returning Recommendations:
   – Process the fetched listings within Make to create user-friendly recommendations.
   – Send the recommendations back to ManyChat to display to users.

Requirements:

– Proven experience with ManyChat, including setting up `User Input` blocks and webhooks.
– Expertise in Make (formerly Integromat), specifically in creating and managing scenarios and HTTP modules.
– Strong understanding of REST APIs and experience with the WordPress REST API.
– Proficiency in data validation and normalization techniques.
– Ability to handle large datasets efficiently and optimize API requests.
– Excellent communication skills and ability to document the workflow and processes clearly.

Preferred Qualifications:

– Experience in chatbot development and automation.
– Familiarity with property listing websites and related data structures.
– Previous work on similar automation and integration projects.

Project Scope:

This is a one-time project with the potential for ongoing maintenance and updates. The ideal candidate will be able to deliver a fully functional integration that allows users to receive property recommendations in real-time based on their preferences inputted through ManyChat.

Deliverables:

– Fully configured ManyChat bot with `User Input` blocks and validation rules.
– Make scenarios for data handling, validation, API requests, and returning recommendations.
– Documentation of the setup process, including any custom scripts or configurations used.
– Testing and troubleshooting to ensure smooth operation and accurate recommendations.

How to Apply:

Please submit your proposal with the following:

– A brief description of your experience with ManyChat, Make (Integromat), and WordPress REST API.
– Examples of similar projects you have completed.
– An estimated timeline and cost for the project.
– Any questions or suggestions you have for optimizing the workflow.

We look forward to working with a skilled professional who can help us enhance our user experience with automated property recommendations!
