BrightBean Chat is an open-source, self-hosted chat marketing and messaging automation platform for Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, SMS, and email.
It includes visual automation flows, keyword triggers, comment-to-DM, drip sequences, broadcasts, a shared inbox, contact management, analytics, and a public API.
BrightBean Chat is a free, open-source alternative to ManyChat, designed for businesses and teams that want full control over their customer data, messaging workflows, and infrastructure. Deploy it on your own server and connect directly to platform APIs without per-contact pricing.
