Frequently asked questions
What is follow-to-DM automation?
When someone follows your Instagram account, ReplyChat automatically sends them a welcome DM — with your message, offer, or link. Every new follower gets greeted instantly, without any manual work.
Why welcome new followers with a DM?
A follow is a hand-raise: the person chose to hear from you. A warm welcome DM lands while that intent is fresh, and it is far more visible than a feed post — your message sits in their inbox.
Will this feel spammy to followers?
A single, genuine welcome message to someone who just chose to follow you is normal relationship-building. ReplyChat sends one message per follower — not repeated promotional blasts.
