Understand what script templates do

Learn how scripts organize reusable message templates and which rules apply to free and paid templates.

Scripts organize reusable message templates for one creator. Select a creator, then open CRM > Scripts; what you can view or change depends on your assigned access.

How scripts and templates fit together

  • A script is an ordered group of message templates for the selected creator.

  • Each template represents one step. Drag the template cards to change their order.

  • A script can support Manual mode, AI mode, or both. Status, Schedule, and Linked lists are separate script settings.

What a template can contain

  • A name and either a manually written message or AI Mode for the caption.

  • Media and pricing when the template is paid.

  • Optional follow-ups and creator tags where those controls are supported.

Free and paid templates

  • A free template with a manually written message can be text-only.

  • AI Mode requires at least one media item.

  • A paid template needs at least one paid, non-preview media item. Preview media can only be used alongside paid media on a paid template.
