Spintax already wired up. Paste into Templates > New, one per template.

Merge fields: {first_name} {company} {group_name} {channel_topic} {topic}

Rules these follow, and yours should too:
  - Under 30 words. A long first DM is deleted unread.
  - One question, at the end.
  - A real, specific reason for messaging in the first clause.
  - No link in the first message, ever.

-- WHAT BREAKS THESE ---------------------------------------------------------
  - Sending all twelve from one account in one day. Rotate across senders.
  - Leaving {group_name} unfilled. An empty merge field is the loudest possible
    signal that this is automated.
  - Adding a link. First message, no link. Every time.
  - Following up more than twice. Two follow-ups, then stop.
