I have a Bardeen action on an external window that says the following:
Click on the âFollowingâ button, then click on âUnfollowâ.
Bardeen opens up the external window, clicks on the Following button, and then clicks on Unfollow, successfully unfollowing the user. This is perfect.
ButâŚBardeen then opens up Instagram again, with the same profile, and then clicks the Follow button, effectively refollowing the profile. I donât know why itâs doing this.
I changed number of attempts to 1, and yet it undoes exactly what it just did. I even tried different prompts like: Unfollow the userâ, which gets me the same result. I also tried one that says âDo NOT click on the blue follow button under any circumstances.â
Yet for whatever reason, Bardeen will unfollow the user, and then open up the window again and refollow them. Itâs blowing my mind.
I was checking your automation and noticed that you are scraping an Airtable. May I ask why you do not use our Airtable integration? That must be the reason the same record is being processed with every run.
Thatâs not the problem. It actually clicks a column which then filters the record from view. Itâs not copying the same username. The problem is still quite difficult for me.
I figured it out. There is only one way, which is Custom CSS plugin. When the bot unfollows an account, the custom CSS hides the follow button, preventing the bot from refollowing (even though it badly wants to).
Unfortunately thereâs no way for us to test the complete flow in order to suggest any better solution. Happy to know that you were able to find a workaround!
