Bardeen Refollows Instagram Account

🏁 Getting started.
1

I have a Bardeen action on an external window that says the following:

  1. Click on the ‘Following’ button, then click on ‘Unfollow’.

Bardeen opens up the external window, clicks on the Following button, and then clicks on Unfollow, successfully unfollowing the user. This is perfect.

But…Bardeen then opens up Instagram again, with the same profile, and then clicks the Follow button, effectively refollowing the profile. I don’t know why it’s 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 user’, which gets me the same result. I also tried one that says ‘Do NOT click on the blue follow button under any circumstances.’

Yet for whatever reason, Bardeen will unfollow the user, and then open up the window again and refollow them. It’s blowing my mind.

Yes. It is here:

I’ve been waiting and have not gotten any response.

Hi Nathaniel,

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.
