Want to keep your new followers around longer? Start the conversation with Welcome DMs, a Flock Social feature that lets you send personalized messages automatically to every new follower.
❓ What Are Welcome DMs?
Every new follower you gain through Flock Social can receive a message of your choice.
This is your chance to:
Say thanks 🙌
Make a pitch 💡
Redirect them to your other platforms or website 🔗
Nudge them to check out your latest post 📲
…the possibilities are endless!
⚙️ How to Set It Up
Open your Flock Social Dashboard
Head to the Dynamics Page
Toggle the Welcome DMs switch ON
Click into the message field and write your DM
Once ready, hit Save
Voilà — you’re all set! 🚀
You can come back and change it anytime. The message isn’t set in stone — it’s just set!
📌 Important Things to Note
Once you turn Welcome DMs on, the system waits a few days before sending the message. This delay helps it feel natural, like something you’d actually send yourself.
You’ll be able to track how many DMs have been sent right in your dashboard.
This feature only works while Auto Mode is active. If you pause growth or switch modes, messages won’t go out until Auto Mode is back on.
