Build a Compliant TikTok & Instagram DM Automation System
Worldwide
We are looking for an experienced developer to design and build a compliant direct-message automation system for TikTok and Instagram. The goal is to manage legitimate, permission-based outreach and customer communications reliably while respecting each platform's terms, API limitations, rate limits, and messaging policies. We are not looking for spam, CAPTCHA bypasses, unofficial account takeovers, proxy-based evasion, or any method intended to circumvent platform enforcement. Key requirements: - Evaluate what is currently possible through the official Meta/Instagram and TikTok APIs - Implement secure OAuth/account connection flows where supported - Build a message queue with scheduling, configurable per-account rate limits, retries, and duplicate prevention - Support approved message templates and personalization fields - Add recipient consent, suppression-list, and opt-out handling - Add campaign controls, logs, delivery/error status, alerts, and an emergency pause - Automatically pause sending when API errors or account-risk signals appear - Provide a simple dashboard for managing accounts, campaigns, recipients, and message history - Deploy the system and provide setup/maintenance documentation Preferred stack: Node.js/TypeScript or Python for the backend, a modern web frontend, PostgreSQL or Supabase, and a reliable job queue. We are open to better recommendations. Please include: 1. Relevant Instagram Messaging API, Meta Graph API, TikTok API, or social automation experience 2. Which parts of this project are officially supported by each platform today 3. Your recommended architecture and technology stack 4. A proposed MVP scope, timeline, and estimated cost 5. How you would test safely with a small controlled rollout before scaling The first milestone should be a technical feasibility review and architecture plan. Development will proceed only with platform-compliant functionality.
