Automated message sequences let you engage fans instantly, sell content on autopilot, and boost retention, without being glued to your phone.

How to Set Up Your First Sequence
Five steps to total messaging automation
Choose Your Trigger
Automated messages activate when specific events happen. Navigate to Smart Messages → Automations and select a trigger like 'New Subscriber' or 'Fan Online'.
Pro Tip: Start with 'New Subscriber' - it's the highest-impact automation for most creators.
Target Your Audience
Use filters to refine who gets your messages. Include specific fan lists, exclude recently messaged fans to prevent fatigue, or focus on high-value spenders.
Pro Tip: Exclude fans with unread messages to avoid piling on when a chatter is already active.
Set Your Timing
Immediate responses can feel robotic. Add a randomized delay (2-10 minutes works well) to make messages feel natural and human.
Pro Tip: For multi-message sequences, space follow-ups strategically (e.g., 24 hours apart).
Write Your Sequence
Compose up to five messages. Use conversational copy, add media from your vault, and set PPV prices if you're selling content.
Pro Tip: Always use the {name} tag to personalize greetings for every fan.
Activate and Monitor
Set your start date and activate. Track performance through the Automations table to see messages sent, opens, and revenue generated.
Pro Tip: Duplicate high-performing automations and test variations to optimize over time.
Best Practices for High Conversion
Avoid common pitfalls and maximize your revenue
Avoid Scripted Language
Fans can spot a template from a mile away. Use casual language, emojis, and questions to encourage a reply.
The Power of {name}
Personalization isn't optional. Using a fan's name increases open rates by up to 40% in automated sequences.
Strategic PPV Pricing
Don't just sell high-ticket items. Mix in lower-priced 'teasers' to build trust and get fans into the habit of buying.
Stop on Reply is Mandatory
Nothing kills the vibe faster than an automated message arriving after a fan has already replied to you.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Quick fixes for automation hiccups
Not Sending?
Verify the status shows "Active" and check that audience filters aren't accidentally excluding everyone (like filtering for $1000+ spenders only).
Duplicate Messages?
Multiple automations with the same trigger can conflict. Smart Messages picks one randomly, but review your active list for overlapping triggers.
Timing Feels Off?
Remember that first-message delays work differently than follow-up delays. Check both settings in your sequence to ensure the flow feels natural.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about OnlyFans automation
OnlyFans doesn't provide native automation tools, but using OFManager's Smart Messages is a safe way to automate your workflow. Our system mimics human behavior with randomized delays to keep your account secure while saving you hours of manual work.
You can compose up to five messages per automation sequence. This allows you to create a comprehensive onboarding flow or a multi-day re-engagement campaign without overwhelming your fans.
This is a critical safety feature. When enabled, the automation stops as soon as a fan replies to any message in the sequence. This ensures that a real human (you or your chatter) can take over the conversation, preventing robotic or repetitive interactions.
Yes! You can attach media from your vault to any message in the sequence and set a PPV price. This is one of the most effective ways to generate passive revenue from new subscribers or returning fans.
Filters allow you to target specific segments. You can include/exclude lists, exclude fans you've messaged recently, filter by total spend, or skip fans who have unread messages. This ensures your automations are highly relevant and don't feel like spam.
