AutoGP

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.

What it means

AutoGP wrote the post and pressed Post, then waited for signs that Facebook took it: the Post button going away, the post box closing, or a message that it was posted. Instead, Facebook showed an error, or the Post button was still there when AutoGP stopped waiting. So AutoGP counts this group as not posted.

Usually the post really didn't go through. Now and then Facebook takes a post but is slow to show it, so it's worth checking before you try again.

AutoGP skips the group and carries on posting to the others. If Facebook's message said the account is blocked or limited, AutoGP treats it as a problem with your account and, with protection on, stops the run instead.

What to do

  1. Open the group from the Results tab (its name is a link) and look for your post, including among posts waiting for admin approval, before you try again. The same post twice in one group looks like spam.
  2. If Facebook showed a message, Results may include its words. A message about your post's content or a link means it wasn't accepted as it is: change it before trying again.
  3. If the post isn't there, try that group again later. A one-off error on Facebook's side usually clears.

When to contact support

Email support@autogp.ai if this happens in several groups in the same run while you can post in them by hand. Include the groups' links, what Results says about each, 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.

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.

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.
