What are Button-Style Template Messages?

Kittychat’s Auto DM supports two message formats:

  • πŸ“ Plain text messages

  • πŸƒ Button-Style Template Messages

Button-Style Template Messages allow you to deliver rich, interactive messages with images and buttonsβ€”making your Auto DMs more engaging and conversion-friendly.


What’s Inside a Button-Style Template? 🧩

Each button-style template message can include:

  • πŸ–ΌοΈ A square-shaped image

  • 🏷️ Title and subtitle

  • πŸ”˜ Up to 3 buttons per message

Each button can trigger:

  • A text response

  • A text response with a link

  • Or direct link navigation (if no text is included)

πŸ‘‰ If a button contains only a link, clicking it will send the user directly to that link.


Carousel Support (Up to 10 Cards) 🎠

You can add up to 10 button-style template messages and display them as a carousel in:

  • Auto DM

  • Inbox Starters

  • Persistent Menu

This format is perfect for:

  • 🍽️ Restaurant menus

  • πŸ›οΈ Product catalogs

  • πŸ›ŽοΈ Service categories

  • πŸ“š Multi-option guides


Follower-Only Content Control πŸ”’

Button-style templates allow you to check the user’s follower status before showing content:

  • βœ… If the user follows the account
    β†’ The button displays the linked message normally

  • 🚫 If the user does NOT follow the account
    β†’ The button shows a message such as:
    β€œPlease follow me first to see this message.”

🎯 Why this matters
This feature not only protects exclusive content but also helps you effectively increase followers by encouraging users to follow your account in order to unlock messages, coupons, or special offers.


Personalized Messages with Placeholders ✨

You can insert placeholders such as:

  • [username] β†’ Automatically inserts the user’s name or Instagram username

This makes your Auto DMs feel more personal and human, even at scale.
