Templates
Templates are ready-made automations you can use as a starting point. Each one opens the automation builder pre-filled with a trigger, DM message, button label and the right toggles â usually the only thing you need to add is your own link, then launch.
Using a template
1
Go to Templates
In the sidebar, click Templates to open the gallery.
2
Find the right one
Browse the cards or use the search box to filter by name â try link, keyword, or follow. Each card shows what the template does and which features it switches on.
3
Click "Use template"
The automation builder opens with everything pre-filled â name, trigger, DM message, button label, comment replies and follow gate as appropriate.
4
Add your link & launch
Templates leave the CTA link blank on purpose. Paste your own URL, tweak the wording if you like, then activate. You can always change the trigger, post scope and message before saving.
What's in the gallery
A curated set of starting points for the most common use cases, including:
- All-in-one â keyword trigger, public comment reply, follow-to-unlock gate and a tracked link, every feature on.
- Reply with a link â DM your link to everyone who comments.
- Keyword link drop â only DM people who comment a specific keyword.
- Follow to unlock â commenters must follow you before the link is delivered.
- Free guide / lead magnet, discount code, waitlist, booking link, newsletter, giveaway entry and more.
Personalization variables
Template DM messages use variables that are filled in at send time. You can add or remove them when editing the message:
| Variable | Replaced with | Example output |
|---|---|---|
| {{username}} | Recipient's @handle | priya.creates |
| {{first_name}} | First part of the recipient's name | Hey Priya! |
| {{full_name}} | Recipient's full name | Priya Sharma |
A template is just a head start â nothing is locked. Once it opens in the builder you can change every field, including the trigger and which posts it applies to, before saving. See Automations and Actions for the full set of options.
