AutoGP

Facebook didn't confirm the listing was published

AutoGP filled in the listing form and pressed Post, but Facebook never confirmed it. Why to check before listing the same item a second time.

What it means

AutoGP filled in Facebook's listing form, pressed Post, and waited for Facebook to say the listing was published. That confirmation never arrived, so AutoGP won't claim the listing went out.

It may still have gone out. A slow page, a connection that dropped at the wrong moment, or Facebook taking longer than AutoGP waited all look the same from the outside: the listing is created, but the confirmation AutoGP watches for never appears. This reason means "not confirmed", not "definitely didn't happen" — which is why the first thing to do is look, not to list again.

One form publishes one listing to all of its groups, so this reason appears against every group on that form together.

What to do

  1. Check before doing anything else. Open any of the groups on that form and look under Your items, or open Marketplace and look under Selling. A listing that's there is done — it may say it's in review, which is normal.
  2. If it's there, leave it. Don't publish the item again. Two near-identical listings of one item is the pattern that costs accounts their access to Facebook's selling features.
  3. If it isn't there, run the listing again. Nothing was created, so there's nothing to clash with.
  4. Give the run more room if this happens often: a slower connection needs the browser window left alone while AutoGP works.

When to contact support

Email support@autogp.ai if listings keep going out but never get confirmed, so runs look worse than they are. Include a group link, when the run was, and what Run Diagnostics shows.

More about posting

AutoGP couldn't find where to write the post

AutoGP opened the group but couldn't find Facebook's post box. The usual causes, from a slow page to Facebook's language setting, and what to try.

Facebook didn't confirm the post went through

AutoGP pressed Post, but Facebook showed an error or didn't take the post. Check the group before posting again, so it doesn't get the same post twice.

Posting to a group took too long

AutoGP gives each group a set time to post. Why one can run over, like a slow page, big images or a long post, and how to make the next run go smoothly.

The posting window was closed

AutoGP posts in a small window it opens for each group. If that window closes or leaves the group's page, the post stops. How to keep runs going.

A post didn't go through for another reason

When AutoGP can't tell why a post to a group failed: what to check first, how to try again safely, and what to send support so it can be fixed.

AutoGP couldn't fill in Facebook's listing form

Facebook's listing form changes, and a step AutoGP expected wasn't there. Why it happens, what it doesn't mean, and the two things that usually fix it.

The photos didn't reach Facebook

Every Facebook listing needs at least one photo, and this one's never finished uploading. What stops a photo attaching, and how to get the listing out.

Marketplace needs a category for this listing

Marketplace requires a category that buy and sell groups don't ask for, and Facebook didn't offer the one this listing needs. Two ways round it.

Facebook lists into at most 20 groups at once

One Facebook listing form reaches 20 groups, so AutoGP splits a run into several. What it means when a group doesn't fit into one of them.
