How to Set DM Delays

DM delays add a time gap between when a comment is detected and when the DM is actually sent. This is a critical safety feature.

Available Delay Options:

5 minutes: Fastest option, used with Manual DM Queue

15 minutes: Default for Auto-DM mode, good balance of speed and safety

30 minutes: More conservative, recommended for stricter subreddits

60 minutes: Maximum safety, best for sensitive niches or new accounts

How Delays Work:

Someone comments on your post

ReddifyAI detects the comment

A DM is prepared and queued

The system waits for your configured delay before sending

For Manual DM Queue: The delay starts after you approve the DM

For Auto-DM: The delay starts when the comment is detected

Why Delays Matter: Sending a DM instantly after someone comments looks automated and unnatural. Real people take time to see a comment, think about it, and write a response. Delays simulate this natural behavior and significantly reduce the risk of your account being flagged.

Changing Your Delay: You can change the DM delay at any time from your campaign management page by clicking the Manage button under your campaign. The new delay applies to all future DMs for that campaign.
