Set up your Text Me auto-response

The Text Me auto-response is the message InnerText fires automatically when a brand-new number texts yours. It runs once per fan, the moment they first reach out. It's the single highest-leverage message on your account.

Why it matters

A new fan who texts your number is sitting on their phone, with their thumb on the screen, in the most receptive state you'll ever get. Your auto-response goes out within seconds: before they switch apps, before they get distracted.

If your message lands, they tap your subscribe link. If it doesn't, they probably never come back.

What to put in it

Three things:

Acknowledge them. "Hey, thanks for texting." Two seconds of warmth.
One specific reason to subscribe. Not generic. "Exclusive sets I don't post anywhere else" beats "premium content."
The subscribe link. InnerText inserts this automatically; you don't type it.

Optional: attach a preview

You can attach a photo or short video to the auto-response. Fans see it inline in the SMS thread. This typically lifts conversion 20–40% versus text-only. Use a teaser, not the goods.

A template that works

Hey 👋 thanks for texting. I drop daily sets here that don't go anywhere else: Instagram, TikTok, none of it. Tap below to come in:

Then the subscribe link, automatically.

How to set it up

Open Settings → Text Me in your dashboard.
Type the message body. Keep it under 160 characters when you can; longer messages get split by carriers.
(Optional) Attach media. JPG, PNG, MP4 under 5MB.
Save. The next inbound from a brand-new number triggers it.

Editing it later

Edit anytime. Changes apply to new inbounds only; people who already received it won't get the new version.
