IG Schedule Messages

Works on:📸 Instagram

The IG Schedule Messages module lets you send the same direct message — or a small set of rotating messages — to a whole segment of Instagram leads automatically, on a schedule. It's the Instagram twin of the Schedule Messages tool, with the same safety features and the same workflow.

When you'd use this

• "Send my Black Friday offer to everyone tagged 'VIP'."
• "Follow up with everyone in my 'Replied to Story' folder once a week."
• "Invite everyone in 'Free Course Subscribers' to a paid masterclass."

Step-by-step: Scheduling an Instagram broadcast

1. Open IG Schedule Messages

   • Click IG Schedule Messages in the left sidebar of the dashboard.
   • If you don't see it: the feature is part of the Pro plan — upgrade from the prompt that appears.

2. Create a campaign

   • Click Create a new campaign and give it a clear Title (e.g. "Webinar Reminder — March").

3. Pick who receives it

   • Included Folders / Tags — choose the Instagram folders/tags whose members should receive the broadcast.
   • Excluded Folders / Tags — pick anyone you want to skip (e.g. exclude "Already Bought" if it's a sales pitch).

4. Pick what to send

   • Choose one or more Message Templates from your saved Templates.
   • Pro tip: select 3–4 different templates. Messenger Organizer will rotate through them randomly so the broadcast looks natural to Instagram instead of like one robotic message.
   • Use {name} inside your template — the lead's first name is filled in automatically.

5. Set the sending options

   • Sending interval — minutes between each message. The default is conservative; faster intervals raise the risk of Instagram flagging your account.
   • Skip Safe Delay — by default the system pauses briefly every 50 messages to keep your account healthy. Leave this on unless you have a specific reason to bypass it.
   • Auto Pause — optionally stop sending after a number of messages or at a specific time of day.
   • Change Folder — automatically move a lead to a different folder right after the message is sent (e.g. "Cold Leads" → "Messaged").

6. Schedule and launch

   • Pick the date and time you want the campaign to start.
   • Save it. The campaign card will appear on the main IG Schedule Messages page.

7. Watch it run

   • Each campaign card shows the schedule, interval, and a preview of the message.
   • Click the eye icon to see the live queue: who has been messaged, who is pending, and who has been removed.
   • The page header shows the current interval so you always know how often the next DM is going out.

Pause, resume, repair

• Pause everything — the Pause button at the top stops every Instagram campaign. Click Resume when you're ready to continue.
• Delete a campaign — red trash icon on the campaign card.
• Remove one person — flip a card over and click the trash icon next to that person's row.
• Repair — if a campaign appears stuck, the dark Repair button safely restarts the background worker. Reopen the page after it finishes.

Tips to stay safe

• Keep this browser window open while a campaign runs. Messenger Organizer needs the tab alive to log into Instagram and send.
• Don't go faster than the default interval. Instagram is more sensitive to rapid messaging than Facebook is. Slow and steady wins.
• Test on a small folder first. Always send to a folder of 3–5 friendly people before broadcasting to a larger list.
