Fanvue automated messages are messages you write once and Fanvue sends for you when a fan does something specific, most often following you for free or subscribing. You set them up under Settings, Creator Settings, Automated Messages, can attach images, files or voice notes, and can either write the text yourself or start from an AI draft that you edit before saving.
This guide maps the triggers Fanvue documents and gives copyable wording for each one. How a multi-day welcome sequence should unfold is covered in our welcome message sequence guide, written for OnlyFans but built on the same logic, and AI-written replies inside live conversations belong to our guide to Fanvue AI messaging.
Where automated messages live, and why the menus differ
Fanvue's help article Creator Settings: Automated Messages describes the feature as pre-set messages sent in response to specific interactions with your profile. It adds that Fanvue recommends personal one-to-one engagement whenever possible, and confirms that you can generate a message with AI and edit it before saving, or write one from scratch, with images, files or voice notes attached.
Finding the screen is less tidy, because Fanvue's own articles describe different routes:
- Settings → Creator Settings → Automated Messages, according to the help article What is an automated message and how do I set one? and the settings article above.
- Messages → the lightning icon → Create Automated Message, according to the February 2025 Fanvue blog post How To Double Your Earnings Through Messaging.
- Settings → Creator Settings → Welcome Message, in the older help article Top 6 ways to get your first fan on Fanvue, which describes a welcome sent when fans subscribe or follow, with optional media and an optional price.
- The Creator Agent, which Fanvue's August 2026 guide AI Messaging: Reply Faster, Chat Smarter says can set up automations on your behalf.
Whichever route your account shows, it leads to the same feature. Read the saved preview of every message before relying on it, because an automation keeps sending until you change it, and nobody reviews it in the moment the way you would review a message you type.
The trigger map
Fanvue lists its triggers inconsistently, so the last column records where each one is described. The job column combines Fanvue's August 2026 notes on how each type performs with our view of what the message should accomplish.
| Trigger | Fires when | Job of the message | Attachment | Where Fanvue describes it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Subscriber | A fan starts a subscription | Welcome them and ask one question that is easy to answer | Optional; the older welcome article allows a priced item | Mass messaging guide, which calls it the most-used type and the one to set up first |
| New Follower | A fan follows you for free | Start a relationship and explain what subscribing adds | A safe-for-work teaser at most | Mass messaging guide, which says it sends more often but earns far less per message |
| Subscription Renewed | A subscriber's renewal goes through | Say thank you with nothing attached to sell | Rarely needed | Mass messaging guide and the November 2025 automation post |
| Subscriber Cancelled | A subscriber cancels | Ask for honest feedback and leave the door open | An optional preview of what is coming | Mass messaging guide, which says these send often but earn very little on average |
| Resubscribed | A former subscriber returns | Welcome them back and point to what is new since they left | Optional | November 2025 automation post |
| New Purchase | A fan buys paid media | Thank them and invite feedback or ideas | Not needed | November 2025 automation post and the February 2025 messaging post |
| Fan reply | A fan replies, named only as an example | Unclear, since Fanvue publishes no setup detail for it | Not documented | The mass messaging guide's list of trigger examples |
The gaps are worth knowing about. The older help article says automated messages go to new followers or subscribers, the November 2025 post The Power of Fanvue Automated Messages walks through six triggers, and the August 2026 guide names follows, subscribes and replies followed by an “etc.” Fill in your own version of this table from what your screen offers, and leave a trigger blank rather than assuming it exists.
Five rules for messages that send themselves
- It has to be true whenever it fires. The Acceptable Use Policy rules out content that falsely depicts live interactions, so an automation saying you are online and free to chat misleads every fan who triggers it while you are asleep. Write lines that hold at any hour.
- Promise only what you will deliver. Fanvue's list of compliance do's and don'ts includes only promising what you can deliver, and its fan-side article on creators who don't reply says Fanvue sets no response deadline and that a subscription buys access to a page, not a promise of personal replies. Skip reply-time promises in automations.
- Keep follower messages safe for work. Followers have not paid and may not have opted in to intimate media, and the Community Guidelines prohibit sharing intimate content with users who have not opted in. A follower welcome attachment should be a teaser, nothing more.
- An AI draft becomes your content. Fanvue's General Terms & Conditions treat content generated by its integrated AI tools as User Content, subject to every platform policy. Edit an AI-generated automation until it says only what you would say.
- Label a synthetic voice. If a voice note in an automation came from an AI voice rather than your own recording, the Community Guidelines count synthetic audio as AI-generated media that needs a clear disclosure, so say so in the message text. Voice settings are covered in our guide to Fanvue AI voice calls and voice notes.
Copyable templates for each trigger
Treat each template as a first draft. Rewrite it in your own voice, keep it to a few short sentences and end on a question when a reply would help. Square brackets mark the parts to replace. None of them mention a time, a reply speed or an offer date, so they stay accurate whenever they send.
New Subscriber
- “Welcome in, [name]. I post [what you post] here, and chat is where I get to know people properly. What made you subscribe?”
- “Hi [name], thanks for joining. One quick question so I know what to make more of: are you here for [content type] or [other content type]?”
New Follower
- “Thanks for the follow. Followers see my public posts and teasers, and subscribers get [what subscribers get]. What caught your eye?”
- “Glad you found me. No pressure to subscribe; have a proper look around first. Which post brought you here?”
Subscription Renewed
- “Your renewal just came through. Thank you for staying on; it genuinely helps me plan what to make next.”
- “Thank you for renewing, [name]. Is there anything you would like to see more of this time around?”
Subscriber Cancelled
- “I noticed you cancelled, and that's completely fine. If there was something you wanted more or less of, I'd honestly like to hear it.”
- “Thanks for the time you spent here, [name]. Whenever you feel like coming back, I'll be glad to see you.”
If you want to mention remaining access, check the trigger first. Fanvue's subscriptions article says a fan who cancels keeps access until the end of the current billing period, but none of the automation articles say whether this trigger fires at cancellation or when access finally ends, and a line about access that is still open would be false in the second case. For longer win-back wording, see our expired subscriber win-back messages.
Resubscribed
- “You're back. Since you were last here I've added [new Collection or series]. Want me to point you to the best place to start?”
- “Good to see your name pop up again, [name]. What brought you back this time?”
New Purchase
- “Thank you for picking up [item]. Tell me what you thought, because it shapes what I make next.”
- “Appreciate you, [name]. If there's a theme you would like to see me shoot next, send it my way.”
Testing and maintaining your automations
Automations go stale quietly. A welcome that mentions a series you stopped, an attachment you later deleted or a price you have since changed keeps sending until someone notices. Fanvue's November 2025 post suggests watching which automated messages draw replies and adjusting the weaker ones. A short monthly review covers the rest:
- Read every active automation from start to finish as a fan would see it.
- Confirm any attachment is still in your Vault and still priced the way you intend.
- Delete references to offers, dates or series that have ended.
- Compare replies by trigger and rewrite whichever message draws the fewest.
- Note each edit and its date, so a change in replies can be traced back to a specific rewrite.
- Check that the follower welcome still matches your Follow for Free settings, including whether followers are allowed to message you.
An automation opens a conversation; it cannot carry one. Fanvue's tips and gifts guide says as much: use automated messages as a starting point and let personal follow-up do the real work. When the same news needs to reach a whole list at once instead, that is a broadcast, covered in our Fanvue mass messaging guide.
Limitations of this guide
Fanvue's documents disagree about where automated messages live and which triggers exist, and some triggers appear only in blog posts rather than help articles, so your account may offer more or fewer options than this map. The templates are wording suggestions, not tested formulas: we have no Fanvue account data and cannot say how any message will perform with your audience. Features and policies can change without notice, so re-read the help centre and the Acceptable Use Policy before reworking your set, and ask Fanvue support whenever a trigger behaves differently from its description.
