What is a DM automation template?

A ready-made workflow for a common goal, like sending a freebie, running a giveaway or booking calls. Each one shows what happens step by step and gives you every message to copy.

Can I edit the templates?

Yes, every word. The messages are a starting point: change the tone, the keyword, the links and the steps to suit your business.

Which channels do the templates run on?

Comment templates run on Instagram and Facebook, and the Story and Live templates on Instagram. DM keyword and AI agent templates also run on TikTok and WhatsApp. Each template lists its channels.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The comment, Story, Live and DM keyword templates run on Alto’s Free plan. The AI agent and contact lists are on Pro.

Is it safe for my account?

Yes. Each account connects through the platform’s official sign-in, never your password, and Alto only messages people who commented or messaged you first.

Do I need to code?

No. You set everything up in Alto by choosing options and pasting in your messages.
