What spintax is
Spintax lets you write several versions of a message at once. Put the options in double curly brackets, separated by a pipe: {{Hi|Hey|Hello}}. Each message picks one option from every set, so a short template can turn into dozens of different messages.
Variables use the same brackets with no pipe: {{first_name}} or {{ai_line}}. Fill them in below the template to preview real messages.
Why it matters for Instagram DMs
People who've been blocked often say they sent identical text over and over, so repeated text is probably one of the things spam filters look for. Spintax makes each message come out slightly different, and you still choose every word. The tester warns you when a template has fewer than 3 versions or contains a link. Leave links out of a first message request to someone who doesn't follow you.
How to write good spintax
- Vary the greeting and the question. Keep the facts the same.
- Only write options you'd say yourself.
- Read a few full versions before you use it. The tester shows up to 12.

Questions
Does InstaReacher use the same syntax?
Yes. Sequences in InstaReacher use {{a|b}} spintax and {{variables}}, and the editor won't let you launch if a first message has fewer than 3 versions or contains a link. Sign up to use it in a campaign.
Can I use it for cold email?
Yes. The syntax works anywhere you paste text.
Sending the same message to many people? A paced Instagram mass DM tool applies spintax and a personal first line to each one.
