AutoGP

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.

What it means

Something went wrong while AutoGP was posting to this group, and it wasn't one of the problems AutoGP knows how to name. As far as AutoGP could tell, nothing was posted to this group, and the run carried on with the others.

What to do

  1. Open the group from the Results tab (its name is a link) and check whether your post is there, including among posts waiting for admin approval, before you try again.
  2. Check that you can post there by hand. If Facebook shows a message when you do, it usually says what's wrong.
  3. Try that group again later. Many one-off problems don't happen twice.
  4. If several groups fail like this, press Run Diagnostics on the extension's Results tab, and check that facebook.com opens normally in the same Chrome profile.

The reasons AutoGP can name are all on the help page.

When to contact support

Email support@autogp.ai whenever this keeps coming back. It means AutoGP met something it doesn't recognise yet, and your report is how that gets fixed. Include the group's link, what Results says about the group, 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.

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.

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.
