What is your goal?to auto reply to instagram and not have repeating replys
What is the problem & what have you tried?im having looping reply’s even though I put a filter in did i do it wrong?
Screenshots (scenario flow, module settings, errors)Hello,
An Instagram username does not include the @ symbol, so in your filter you should use your username without it.
Right now, Make is likely looking for @username instead of username, which is why you’re getting looped responses.
To be sure, you can check the output bundle of the Watch Events module and copy your account username directly from there.
Have a nice day,
Michal
Thank you! It’s always the smallest thing it seems
It looks like the filter is checking the username instead of whether the message has already been replied to. Because of that, it keeps sending replies repeatedly. You can fix this by marking messages after replying (using a tag or flag) and then updating the filter to skip those, so it doesn’t reply again.
Your filter is checking the username, but the loop is usually caused by the scenario picking up its own reply/comment as a new event.
So the simple fix is to filter the event by message/comment type or sender/source, not just by whether the username contains your handle.
In short: the filter is probably on the wrong field, which is why your own reply is still getting picked up and triggering the loop again.
