Frequently Asked Questions

Do copy-paste DM templates actually convert?

Templates convert when the trigger matches the post promise and the follow-up arrives within 24 hours. Personalize the bracketed parts and test one script per post before scaling.

How many follow-ups should an automation send?

Two: the instant reply and one 24-hour nudge. A third message only for cart, booking, or giveaway deadlines. More than that reads as spam and risks blocks.

Should every post use the same keyword?

No. Rotate keywords per offer so your reporting shows which post sold. Reused keywords blur attribution across campaigns.

Where do I set these up?

In DMDrop each template becomes a keyword campaign: set the trigger, paste the opener, schedule the follow-up, and point the link at your store, course, or booking page.
