Despite having no previous experience with the no-code approach, ILTHY was open to embracing it.
Unlocking the power of Instagram automation

Challenge: compare manual processing of repetitive tasks VS. unexplored automation
To engage new customers, ILTHY offered a 10% discount to people who used a specific code on Instagram.

The idea was to engage 50-100 people using the discount code to see if there was a demand for the company's products.

If successful, they planned to spend more time experimenting with automation.
Goals: expand reach, promote products, and ultimately get more customers
For their first monthly campaign using Instagram automation, ILTHY increased the conversion rate by 22% and generated $2,303 in total sales.

Also, 197 customers engaged with their chatbot, resulting in 43 completed orders with an average order value of $53.

Their second Memorial Day campaign was even more impressive. In just 15 hours, ILTHY generated $1,075 in sales after 60 people engaged with the bot.
Results: +22% conversion, $2K+ total sales, and increased engagement

'I was initially concerned that I’d be too confused with chatbot building. I quickly went through the basics like collecting user emails or phones and right off the bat was able to build my first chatbot.'
— Kumar Arora, co-founder of ILTHY
ILTHY added a promo code in their bio and invited people to send it to them in DMs for a 10% gift card.
How ILTHY used Chatfuel
Engaging leads to start a chat
ILTHY's chatbot asked users who sent a promo code to share their name, email, and phone number to get a unique discount code.
Collecting leads' data
ILTHY needed to ensure that the person sending their data was not already on their Shopify customer list. After receiving lead data, the bot asked Shopify using an API if a user was already in their database. If the answer was no, the bot sent them a gift card.
