Instagram DM generator for your setting script
An Instagram DM generator drafts your replies to leads who message you. This one turns your offer into a DM setting script, opener to follow-up.
Free, no email, no login. The script is built in your browser.
Your DM setting script
Open on their message
Thank them and ask one question. No pitch, no link yet.
Thanks for the message! Happy to tell you about Replace [offer]. What’s going on for you right now?
Ask 2 or 3 fit questions
One question per message. You’re listening for: Replace [fit criteria].
If they ask the price, give it first: Replace [price]. Then ask your next question.
Question 1
Where are you today, and where do you want to be in 3 months?
Question 2
What have you already tried to get there?
Question 3
If you started next week, how much time could you give it?
Branch on the answers
Decide from what they said, not from a hunch. Each answer gets its own reply.
If they fit
Thanks for sharing all that. From what you said, Replace [offer] could really help you.
If they’re not a fit
Thanks for being open with me. Right now, Replace [offer] isn’t the right fit: it’s built for Replace [ideal client].
If it’s not the right time
Totally fine. Whenever the timing feels right, just message me here and we’ll pick it up.
Ask for the next step
Only after a fit. Send Replace [link] in a message of its own.
The ask
Next step is a short call to see if Replace [offer] fits your plans. Want the link to pick a time?
Once they say yes
Here’s my calendar: Replace [link]. Let me know once you’ve picked a time.
Handle objections, follow up once
Answer, then ask one question. Follow up once, within 24 hours of their last message.
“It’s too expensive”
That’s fair. What would you need to see for Replace [price] to feel worth it?
“I need to think about it”
Of course, take your time. Is there one thing I can clear up for you right now?
“I need to ask my partner”
Makes total sense. Want a short summary of Replace [offer] you can show them?
If they go quiet
Hey, just bumping this up in case it got buried. Still want a time for that call?
The formula
The 5 stages of a DM setting script
The generator follows this order. Keep it, then rewrite each message in your own words.
- 01
Open on their message
They wrote first, so answer them. One question keeps it a conversation.
- 02
Ask 2 or 3 fit questions
Their answers tell you if they fit. Ask what you’d check on a call.
- 03
Branch on the answers
Not every lead should book. A kind exit beats a call that goes nowhere.
- 04
Ask for the next step
Wait for a fit, so every call you take is with a lead who qualifies.
- 05
Handle objections, follow up once
Answer the doubt, then ask. One nudge, inside the 24-hour window.
With an AI setter
The same script, followed by an AI setter
ManySetter writes a setting script from your offer, then follows it in your Manychat DMs. Each reply shows why.
Lead: Saw your Reel. How much is the coaching?
AI Setter: $1,500 for 12 weeks. How many clients do you have now?
Lead: Three, all referrals. I want more from Instagram.
AI Setter: Three is in range. Want a 20‑minute fit call this week?
Qualified · booked only when the calendar confirms
Why this reply?
- Script step
- 5. Invitation to the call
- It knew
- 3 clients, all referrals
- It used
- Fit rule: 2 to 10 paying clients
Price first, then a fit question
It answered the price from your offer, then asked one fit question.
A fit from your criterion
Three clients is inside your 2 to 10 rule, so the fit reply applies.
The ask comes last
It offered the call only after the fit. Booked once the calendar confirms.
You need a Manychat account on the channels you use.
Use it
Three places to use your script
Keep the order everywhere. Change the words so they sound like you.
A human setter
Use it as their playbook: same order, their own words in every DM.
An AI setter brief
Give an AI setter the order, your fit criteria and the replies to follow.
Troubleshooting
Five DM script mistakes
- How to fix it
It reads as a filter before you’ve helped. Ask about their situation first, and give your price when they ask.
- How to fix it
Before a fit question, you can’t know the call is right. Ask first, then send the link in its own message.
- How to fix it
Ask one, wait for the answer, then pick the next. Their reply decides what comes after.
- How to fix it
Use the not-a-fit and not-now replies. A booked call should mean the lead fits your criteria.
- How to fix it
Per Manychat, automated messages go out only within 24 hours of the lead’s last interaction (messaging windows (opens in a new tab), checked October 9, 2026). Follow up once, inside that window.
FAQ
DM setting script questions
The messages a setter sends after a lead writes, in order: opener, fit questions, a reply for each answer, the booking ask, objection replies and one follow-up.
Yes. No email and no login. The script is built in your browser from what you type; copy it when it reads right.
Yes: choose “A booked call.” It’s written for DMs, not phone calls: short messages, one question each, and the link only after a fit.
The order works in any DM. Rewrite the wording for each channel, and keep the follow-up inside the 24-hour window.
Yes, by hand on Instagram and Messenger: per Manychat (opens in a new tab) (checked October 9, 2026), manual Inbox messages work for 7 days after the 24-hour window. WhatsApp needs a message template.
No tool can promise that. It’s a template, not a result: it gives the order, and someone still has to run each conversation well.
The Instagram DM template library has single messages to copy by stage. This tool builds one ordered script from your offer, with its branches.
