Automation Rules
Rule types, triggers, and safe outputs.
Automation rules let you respond at scale without losing control. Combine a rule type, trigger, and response mode to build safe workflows you can test and iterate.
Rule types
- Greeter: welcome messages for new followers or first‑time DMs.
- Upsell: offer premium content when intent is high.
- Follow‑up: re‑engage after a delay or no response.
Trigger options
- ON_FOLLOW — run when someone follows.
- ON_MESSAGE — run when a new inbound DM arrives.
- SCHEDULED — run after a delay or on a schedule.
Safe output modes
- Draft only: store a draft for review.
- Auto‑send: send immediately after validation.
What counts as “success”
- Rule fired without validation errors.
- Message delivered (or drafted) as expected.
- Audit log captured the run and outcome.
Best practices
- Start in Draft mode and review outputs.
- Keep rule text short, clear, and on‑brand.
- Test after changing triggers or credentials.
- Use follow‑ups sparingly to avoid fatigue.
