FOLLOWER WELCOME REVIEW · Workflow idea

Welcome new followers without sending a message before you approve it.

Notice new followers and prepare a short, friendly welcome that reflects the account’s chosen tone. Keep the message as a draft for the account owner to review, and send it only after a person approves the exact wording and recipient. Account access or messaging-setting changes also stay with the authorized owner.

  4. Show the exact recipient and message

    Present the proposed text and recipient together so the owner can assess whether the contact is appropriate.

  5. Send only after explicit approval

    Require the account owner to approve the exact direct message and recipient before anything is sent.

The handoff

A follower event paired with a proposed welcome message, recipient context, and send approval status.

Keep in mind

A direct message is an external contact and may feel intrusive, contain an unsuitable assumption, or reach the wrong person. Respect recipient preferences and platform rules, check the exact message and recipient, and require the authorized account owner to approve every send. Changes to account access, messaging settings, or connected permissions also require owner approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Assign account and message approvers

Name who approves each recipient and message and who authorizes changes to account access or messaging permissions.
