Instagram Auto Comment Reply System Repeating Responses Issue

How To
,
1

I have set up an automated system on Make.com to reply to Instagram comments. The system detects incoming comments, generates a response using OpenAI, and then posts the reply to the relevant comment. However, instead of replying only once per comment, it keeps sending multiple responses repeatedly without stopping.

The workflow I have implemented consists of the following steps:

  1. Instagram for Business (Facebook Login) - Watch Events: Detects new comments.
  2. Google Sheets - Add a Row: Logs the comments in a Google Sheets file.
  3. OpenAI (ChatGPT) - Create a Completion: Generates a response based on the comment.
  4. Google Sheets - Add a Row: Saves the generated response.
  5. Instagram for Business (Facebook Login) - Create a Reply: Posts the reply to the comment.

ISSUE:

  • The system is sending multiple replies to the same comment, causing it to loop continuously.
  • I need a way to ensure that each comment receives only one reply.

I would appreciate guidance on how to implement a filtering or control mechanism to prevent repeated responses.

Hi,
Welcome to the Make community!

You can implement a filtering mechanism that checks if the reply is coming from your Instagram account. If it is, then do not generate another response

Hope this helps!
