Welcome DMs

Last updated on Apr 24, 2025

Whether you want to drop a quick thanks, share something cool you’re working on, or just let your new followers know what your page is all about, Upleap’s Welcome DMs make it easy. You write the message once, and we’ll quietly send it to everyone who hits that follow button. Simple, friendly, and most importantly, no effort required.

What it does

The second someone follows you through Upleap, they’re added to your message queue. Once you turn the feature on, DMs will start rolling out. Keep in mind that we don’t send messages immediately. Instead, there’s a short delay, just enough to make it feel natural.

The sending is also timed so your message hits before the system unfollows. You’re still in that follower’s orbit, they're still engaged and likely to notice it...that makes all the difference.

Getting started

Go to your Dynamics page in the Upleap dashboard and find the Welcome DMs section.

  • Switch it on

  • Drop your message into the field

  • Hit save

That’s all. Your message is now live. You can edit it any time, so feel free to test different angles or wording to see what resonates best.

Need-to-knows

  • Messages are only sent while Auto Mode is active, so make sure it’s turned on. If you’ve paused growth or switched things up, the DMs will wait until Auto Mode is back on.

  • Your messages are delivered before we unfollow users. This way, they still see the message while they’re engaged and paying attention.

  • You can check how many messages have been sent right from your dashboard.

The takeaway

Welcome DMs are a simple way to let new followers know there’s a real person behind your account. It’s not about pitching or pushing. It’s about showing up. A quick hello at the right time can spark curiosity, keep people around, and make your growth feel a lot more personal. And since Upleap handles the sending, you just need to write it once and let it run on autopilot.
