Follow-Status Check πŸ”πŸ‘€

What is Follow-Status Check?

Follow-Status Check allows you to verify whether a user follows your Instagram account when they click a button in a Button-Style Template message.

Based on the user’s follow status, Kittychat automatically controls what content they can see.


How It Works πŸ”„

When a user clicks a button in a Button-Style Template:

  • βœ… If the user is following your account
    β†’ The linked message or content is shown normally

  • 🚫 If the user is NOT following your account
    β†’ The user sees a message such as:
    β€œPlease follow me first to see this message.”

This helps you protect exclusive content and guide users toward following your account.


Editable Message for Non-Followers ✏️

  • The message shown to non-followers is fully customizable

  • You can edit this text in the Auto DM setup pop-up

This allows you to use friendly, on-brand wording or add a clear call-to-action.


Default Behavior & How to Disable βš™οΈ

  • πŸ”˜ Follow-Status Check is enabled by default when using Button-Style Template messages

  • ❌ If you don’t want to enforce follow-only access:

    • Simply untick the Follow-Status Check option in the Auto DM setup

  • Encourage users to follow your account naturally
