Questions people ask
Short answers, straight from how DMChat works today.
What happens after the story expires?
Replies that arrive while the story is up get answered. Once it’s gone, there’s nothing new to reply to, and the conversations you started stay in your inbox.
Will it thank people who mention me?
Yes. Set up a mention automation and everyone who tags you in their story gets your thank-you DM, with a link or code if you like.
Is it free?
Yes, on the free plan with 1,000 DMs a month. Story automations count toward your 5 automations.
