SEQUENCES · INSTAGRAM DM

Set the follow-up once. It sends itself.

A sequence is a timed series of DMs a contact enters once. You write the steps and set the spacing; HyperDM sends them in order — personalized, on Instagram, inside the rules. Welcome drips, cart nudges, re-engagement — running the moment a lead enters.

Welcome in! Here's the guide you grabbed — and the bestseller everyone asks about 👋

THE OLD WAY

Right now, follow-up depends on you remembering.

Someone comments, replies, or goes quiet mid-question — and the next message is on you. You DM them back if you catch it, forget if you don't, and the sale cools while you sleep. The keyword bot is worse: it fires one link and dead-ends, no second touch, no third. And the flow builders that do drip make you draw a branch for every step, then bill you for every contact sitting in the list — whether they ever open a DM or not.

  • Manual follow-up you have to rememberat 11pm, and again in three days.
  • Keyword bots that send one link and go silent.
  • Drip flows you draw branch by branch, then maintain forever.
  • A bill that climbs with your contact list, not your sales.
The hand-sent follow-up grind
HOW IT WORKS

Write the steps. Set the spacing. Go live.

A sequence is a straight list of messages — no branches, no decision tree. Each step has one job: what to say, and how long to wait before saying it. A contact enters at the top and moves down on your schedule until the last step sends. You set it once; HyperDM runs it for every contact who enters, through the same policy gate as every other message.

01

Step 1 sends when they enter

Every step after waits the delay you set — minutes, hours, or days.

02

Personalize with {{first_name}} and your own custom fields

merged per contact at send.

03

Set a send window so steps only go out during the hours and days you choose.

04

Reply to any step and your agent takes over live

answering from your catalog, then handing back.

05

Pause a step and the ladder closes the gap

No one strands mid-drip.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

Three follow-ups that pay for themselves.

The plays every store runs by hand — automated, and moving the moment someone enters.

Sequences keep working across days while you travel
01

Welcome drip

A lead comes in from a comment or keyword, and your best hello, your bestseller, and your first-order code land over the next few hours while the thread's still warm.

02

Cart nudge. They asked about a product and went quiet

a gentle reminder an hour on, the buy link again before the day's out. No sticky note required.

03

Re-engagement

A story reply or a keyword kicks off a short series that keeps the conversation moving instead of dying on read.

HONEST BY DESIGN

It plays by Instagram's rules. Out loud.

Instagram opens a 24-hour messaging window every time a contact writes to you, and every tool — you, us, anyone — lives inside it. HyperDM sends your steps inside that window and reopens it each time they reply. Space your steps close and a drip lands every time. When a step falls outside the window, HyperDM won't fake a delivery it can't make — the sequence just moves to the next step. No banned-account roulette, no ghost sends.

  • Enters once. A contact can't get the same sequence twicea repeat commenter never gets double-dripped.
  • Inside the window. Every send clears the same policy gate as the rest of HyperDM — consent and rate limits, checked on every step.
  • Never faked. If Instagram's window is shut, HyperDM skips the step instead of faking a send.
  • Yours to change. Edit the copy, pause a step, or delete itand everyone still receiving it stops.

The honest FAQ.

Two ways. An automation enrolls them — a comment-to-DM, a keyword reply, or a message your agent just handled drops them onto step 1 — or you add anyone by hand from their contact drawer. Either way they start at the top and move down on the schedule you set.
No. A contact enters a sequence once, full stop — re-subscribing does nothing. A repeat commenter or a returning lead never gets double-dripped, so you can point automations at it without worrying about messaging the same person twice.
Inside Instagram's rules, yes. Instagram opens a 24-hour messaging window every time a contact writes to you, and every tool lives inside it. HyperDM sends your steps inside that window and reopens it each time they reply. Space your steps close and a drip lands every time; if a step ever falls outside the window, HyperDM skips it instead of faking a send. We play by the rules, not around them.
It stays safe. Change the copy and the next step sends the new version. Pause a step and the ladder closes the gap — no one strands. Switch the whole thing to draft, or delete it, and everyone still receiving it simply stops. Nobody ever gets messaged from a half-edited sequence.
