The Follow-Back automation helps you re-engage with your expired subscribers.
It follows your fans when their subscription gets expired, which allows you to continue messaging with them.
Use it to increase the number of spenders returning to your page after their subscription expired - this will increase your fans' spending.
How is this helpful?
Increase fans' spending: The Follow-Back allows you to send PPVs to your expired fans and continue chatting with lost spenders.
Increase retention: Win back your expired fans easily. Simply start a conversation, or offering a gift in return for resubscribing. We noticed that about 20-25% of expired subs return when you make this effort.
How does it work?
The Follow-back follows 100-300 expired fans each day automatically.
By following your expired fans, OnlyFans allows you to message them in private conversations or mass messaging, including sending PPVs.
In other words, the Follow-Back automation lets you bring back old spenders, or sell content even after your fans' subscription is over. Without the Follow-Back, you can't sell content or message an expired fan.
To maximize revenue, the Auto-Follower has an intelligent priority system that follows your high spenders first.
Using the Auto-Follower is very easy, it starts working immediately and requires zero effort. If you want to change the settings or stop its functionality - Go to the Automation page, and look for Follow-Back Expired Fans.
⚠️ Our Follow-Back follow rate is limited to match the limitations from OnlyFans.
You may experience a slow rate at the beginning, since the automation needs some time to scan all your expired fans!

Troubleshooting
Turn off email notification
Sometimes you can get email notifications from OnlyFans regarding your following.
This can be pretty annoying, therefore, it's best to disable those notifications.
To turn off email notifications, go Notification setting on OnlyFans, and toggle Off "Important subscription notifications".
❗️There’s a toggle in OnlyFans that directly contradicts everything the Auto-Follower tries to do - If this setting is turned on https://onlyfans.com/my/settings/fans, it unfollows fans the moment their subscription expires.
That means that we’ll hit the limit of the daily following WITHOUT the auto-follower ever doing anything. Please make sure to have it turned OFF in all accounts using the auto-follower.
