# The Reply to pending DM

The Reply to pending DM function allows you to get back to your new leads’ DM requests without having to view any of them. Instead of opening every new DM manually as you receive them, you can use the Reply to pending DM function to send an automated response to accounts that message you. This potentially helps you direct your newly generated leads to your main King account or platform, rather than them staying on your infantry account, without having to reply to them individually one by one.

To activate the Reply to Pending DM function, all you have to do is open the Reply to Pending DM module, tick the box next to “Reply to pending DM requests”, then enter in the text box whatever message you want your Infantry accounts to send. This function also supports Spintax, emojis, links, and variables which automatically input the receiver’s username or name.&#x20;

1. Input {{username}} as a placeholder for the receiver’s username
2. Input {{full\_name}} as a placeholder for the receiver’s full name as seen on their profile
3. Input {{first\_name}} as a placeholder for the receiver’s first name as seen on their profile
