AI DM Settings: Controls and Current Availability
The AI DM page contains responder settings and an approval queue. This guide explains those controls without assuming that an automatic incoming-message workflow is active.
Check availability first
The public roadmap lists direct messages as an upcoming feature. Opening the settings page or enabling its responder setting does not establish that new incoming messages will be processed automatically. Do not rely on that setting as a promise that fans will receive replies while you are away.
The configuration page requires a signed-in account with a creator profile. Open AI DM from the Creator Dashboard to inspect the available settings.
What the modes describe
The configuration defines three handling modes:
Mode Intended handling when the responder workflow is connected
--- ---
Suggest Prepare a draft for review before sending.
Auto Schedule a generated reply after a configured delay.
Hybrid Use automatic handling for selected message categories and review the others.
These settings describe how the responder is meant to handle messages. They do not confirm that a live message source is connected or that a scheduled reply has been delivered. The default delay settings are 30–120 seconds; actual delivery is not guaranteed by that range.
Writing instructions for replies
Tone, reply length and emoji settings shape the requested style. Boundary instructions describe what a response should avoid. Keep them specific, for example: do not include personal contact details or make commitments on the creator's behalf.
Instructions guide generation; review is still needed. Check names, factual claims, promises and anything that could be mistaken for a personal commitment before approving a reply. The generator uses character context, segment information and a limited recent conversation history. It should not be described as remembering every previous exchange.
Reviewing existing queue items
When queue items are present, the Queue tab shows the incoming message, category and suggested reply. Its actions are:
- Approve: send the draft as written.
- Edit and send: revise the draft before sending it.
- Reject: discard the suggestion.
Read the original message as well as the draft before choosing an action. A configured category or tone does not establish that the response is correct.
The Stats tab summarizes queue decisions and automatic-send records. An automatic-send status can be recorded when a delayed task is scheduled, so the count alone is not proof of successful delivery. Check current feature availability before building an unattended messaging workflow around these controls.
