The three message types
Intro Message
Sent when a contact first enters the campaign. This is your agent’s opening line.
Follow-Up Messages
A timed sequence of messages sent when a contact hasn’t responded. Each step has its own delay, content, and channel.
Final Message
Sent when the sequence ends or the contact reaches the message cap. A graceful closing message.
Intro message
The intro message is the first thing your contacts receive when they enter a campaign. Configure it by clicking the Intro Message card in the campaign editor. In addition to the message content, the intro has two optional delivery controls:- Intro Delay — Set a number of hours to wait before sending the first message after a contact is enrolled. Use this if you want to let newly imported leads “age” before outreach begins.
- Intro Channel Override — Send the intro on a different channel than the campaign default. For example, you might open with an email even if the campaign primarily uses SMS.
Follow-up messages
Follow-up messages fire automatically when a contact goes silent. Each step in the sequence defines:- Delay (hours) — How long to wait after the previous message before sending this one. For example, set
24to follow up one day later. - Message — The content to send at this step.
- Channel — Which channel to use for this specific step, allowing you to alternate between SMS and email.
Final message
The final message is sent when either of these conditions is met:- The contact completes the entire follow-up sequence without responding.
- The contact reaches the campaign’s message cap (objection limit).
AI toggle: generated vs. verbatim
Each individual message — intro, every follow-up step, and the final message — has its own AI toggle that controls how the content is delivered.- AI On (default)
- AI Off (verbatim)
With AI enabled, Myna treats your configured message text as guidance. The LLM reads your draft, considers the contact’s details and conversation history, and generates a personalized version before sending. No two messages will read identically.Best for: natural outreach where personalization matters, warmer tones, and campaigns where flexibility improves response rates.The AI still honors the spirit of your written text — it won’t go off-topic or ignore your instructions.

Merge fields for verbatim messages
When you write a verbatim message, you can insert merge fields to personalize it with each contact’s data. Merge fields are resolved at the moment the message is sent. Syntax:{{field_name}} or {{field_name | Fallback Text}}
If a field is empty or unknown, Myna replaces it with the fallback value you provide after the |. If no fallback is set, the token is replaced with an empty string.
Merge field reference
Merge field reference
Fallback example:
first_name is missing, the message reads “Hi there”. If city is missing, it reads “your area”.Merge fields are resolved at send time in verbatim mode. When AI is enabled, the LLM already personalizes using the contact’s details — merge tokens in your guidance text are passed through to the model and resolved naturally, so you don’t need to add them explicitly.
