Why Send Messages to Your Favorites on Vinted?

When someone adds your item to their favorites on Vinted, it’s not random. That person is clearly interested—they either want to come back and buy it later or are signaling they’re waiting for a discount. This is your chance to turn that interest into a sale with a well-timed message and perhaps an attractive offer.

❤️ Why Send Messages to Users Who Favorite Your Items?

A favorite is much more than a simple click. It’s a buying intent waiting to be converted:

Benefit Why It Matters
Timing is everything On Vinted, purchase decisions are often spontaneous. By reaching out quickly after a favorite, you ride the wave of their interest and dramatically increase your chances of closing the sale.
The nudge that sells A friendly message paired with a small discount can be exactly what’s needed to push the buyer to action. It’s that detail that transforms curiosity into a transaction.

Tip: Buyers who receive a message within 24 hours of favoriting an item are significantly more likely to complete their purchase.


⚙️ How Does Dotb’s Automatic Messages Feature Work?

Dotb monitors your Vinted notifications around the clock. As soon as a new favorite appears, the extension sends your pre-configured message, with or without an offer depending on your settings.

Continuous Monitoring

The extension checks your notifications every 3 minutes to catch every new favorite.

Automatic Message Sending

Your personalized message is sent automatically to the buyer who just showed interest in your item.

Optional Discount Offers

If enabled, Dotb will create and send a discount offer directly on Vinted, with the amount you’ve defined.

Maximizing Sales

The buyer receives your message at the perfect moment, multiplying your chances of closing the sale.


✉️ Configuring Your Messages

You can fully customize your automatic messages from the Dotb dashboard. Use @username to personalize with the buyer’s name, and create variations with {Hi|Hello|Hey} syntax so each message feels unique.

Example:

{Hi|Hello} @username! I noticed you’re interested in my item. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

🛡️ Smart Sending Rules

Dotb isn’t a spam machine. The extension includes protections to keep your outreach relevant and professional:

Rule Description
No duplicate messages If a favorite has already been processed, Dotb won’t message the user again.
Message limits Only 1-3 messages can be sent to the same user within a configurable time period (default: 1 day).
Conversation detection If an exchange has already started on an item, Dotb won’t send anything to avoid out-of-context messages.
Blocked users respected Users on your ignored list won’t receive any messages.
Per-item limits You can set a limit on how many messages can be sent per item to spread messages across your listings.
Item-level control You can disable auto messages for specific items in the dressing panel.

💰 Automatic Discount Offers

You can enable automatic discount offers to accompany your messages:

  • Offer type: Percentage (e.g., 10%) or fixed amount (e.g., 5€)
  • Offer value: Between 1-20% or 1-20€
  • Auto-created: Dotb creates the Vinted offer with the calculated price
