How to run a campaign with your own DM

Write and save your own DM

Open Prompts and Messages in the left menu and click the Your Own DM tab. Click + New DM, type a name in “Name this DM (e.g. Collab v1)”, and write the message in the big text box.

Use the chips above it to add {{firstName}}, {{handle}}, {{fullName}}, {{followerCount}} or a spintax block { a | b }. For example:

{Hey|Hi|Hello} {{firstName|there}}, {loved your latest post|your content really stands out}. I run partnerships at a small brand. {Open to a quick chat|Would love to send you a sample}?

The part after the bar in {{firstName|there}} is the fallback used when a profile shows no first name. Click Save DM when you are done.

Preview it

Next to the editor, PREVIEW: 3 DMS IN A ROW fills your DM in for three sample profiles. Click Re-roll to see three other versions. The line under the preview tells you if your wording is varied enough, for example “All 3 messages differ. Auto-send safe.” If every DM reads the same, add more { a | b } choices.

Errors show in red with the line and column and must be fixed before you can save. Previews never send anything and never use credits.

Start a new campaign

Click Campaigns, then Create Campaign. Fill in the name, platform, recipients and pace as usual. The guide How to create your first campaign walks through those fields.

Choose Your Own DM in the Message section

Under MESSAGE, click Your Own DM (“1 credit per DM sent”) instead of AI Prompt. If you have several own DMs, pick one under DM to send. The active one is selected first.

The form shows a preview for sample profiles and the number of versions your spintax gives. Click Edit this DM to change it, or Write your DM if you have none yet.

Understand what it costs

• A credit is taken right before each DM is sent.
• A DM that fails is refunded, and the details show “credit refunded”.
• A DM that may have gone out when Chrome closed keeps its credit and is never sent again.
• A DM that failed but was delivered by Auto Email counts as sent and keeps its credit.
• With Auto-send DMs unchecked, DMpro only prepares each message, for free.

Under the message, the form shows the most the list can cost.

Create, save and start

Click Create & Save. DMpro will not create an own DM campaign if the chosen DM has an error (“[name] needs a fix first”) or if you have none saved. When the draft is ready, click Start on its card.

Know what you can change later

The campaign sends the own DM you picked in the form. Edits you save to that DM apply to the people still waiting. Switching your active own DM, or switching the message mode on Prompts and Messages, does not change a campaign that already exists. If you delete the DM, the campaign keeps sending the copy it saved when it was created.

Rotate prompts is for AI prompts only. To vary an own DM, use spintax.
