Step 1: Start a New Automation

  1. Open the AutoDM app from the side sheet.

  2. Click the Create Automation button (top-right corner).

  3. Select Incoming DM from the automation types.

Step 2: Compose the Automated DM

    • Select a product/store link from your SuperProfile account via the dropdown.

Click on Next to continue.

⚡️ PRO TIP -

You’ll see two powerful features you can enable on this step:

  • Follow Check
    If enabled, users will be prompted to follow you first. The main DM is sent only after they follow, great for follower growth.

  • Collect Email
    This asks users for their email before sending your main message. A smart way to grow your email list for newsletters or promotions.

Step 3: Review & Launch

  • A preview screen will show your full setup.

  • Click Back if you want to make edits.

  • If everything looks good, click Confirm & Launch.

Your automation will go live immediately.

📈 Track Performance

In the automation listing, you can view performance metrics like:

  • Total Runs (how many DMs triggered the automation)

  • Followers Gained (only if follow-check is enabled)

  • Button Clicks

Use these insights to refine your message and drive better engagement.
