Hey there, I just set up my account and have an issue. I like the auto-DM new followers option. But I don't want to try and get their email immediately. I want to start a chat/conversation with them first (this often leads to business). But it isn't letting me remove the "add button" to request email.
Is this available only in the paid option? Or is there a workaround?

It's a Meta API requirement, not a paid restriction. The button is mandatory to open the 24-hour messaging window. The workaround: change the button label to something conversational like
"Let's chat 👋" instead of asking for email.
Opens the conversation naturally, ask for the email later once you've built rapport.
