Setting up the watch folder

Post by John_Campbell576 »

Following up with Martins reply to my old thread "viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11062" is it possible to go into more detail about the WATCH FOLDER setup process. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the setup and pairing it to my sequence of events. Possibly some visuals (screenshots) would help?
Set this action on the COMMENT tab normally

On the right you can see AUTO WRITE FILES info link next to it. Click it :-)

Each time the account posts in this action with an "auto write file" the program will write a file with the comment tweet details.

You then setup a MASS COMMENT action to detect this file with a WATCH FOLDER action (goto MASS COMMENT tab and you'll see a link more info watch folder, click it)

the MASS COMMENT WATCH FOLDER will detect the auto write file and then create a new mass comment action for your acc_2 to post the hype reply.

Similarly, you do the same with a MASS LIKE WATCH FOLDER action, so you run a MASS LIKE action on the original comment, to give it 4-5 likes

I think I got the basic understanding down, but don't know exactly the setup for the template. All I see is instagramdub setup examples. This is what it looks like since I just have accs:all https://tinypic.host/i/screen-shot-2022 ... 6-pm.j9SRi

Should I be using something like this;
url:
Num:
Pause:
accs:all
comments:

What do I put for the url?

I'll do a tutorial on this soon (tomorrow hopefully)



In the mean time, setup your MASS ACTION to "watch" a folder. That should be straight forward.


Then you just need to create "watch files" in that folder with the format:

Assuming it's a "MASS LIKE" action

Code: Select all

url: https://twitter.com/IscaNublar/status/1554203105977409536
Num: 10
Pause:10:20
accs:all 
So on reading this file, a MASS LIKE action is made on the specified URL, with all accounts to post 10 likes, with a 10-20 second pause after each

getting this issue
I'd need to see the "watch file" you added to the folder. Post it up, or if private, email it to me:

Code: Select all

It works the exact same in the IG program and Twitter.
As the logs say, you didnt' specify an URL

What do I put for the url?
The URL you want to action on. So profile URL for a MASS FOLLOW WATCH FOLDER, tweet url for MASS LIKE / COMMENT actions etc


What are you trying to achieve using WATCH FOLDERS / FILES.
Do you need this functionality? Most people don't. Do you have a programatic way to create these watch files? Unless you do, the feature probably isn't for you.

It just lets programmers automatically create actions. But you can create them yourself manually in the MASS ACTION tabs of the app. Which is what most people do.

But let me know what you are trying to do and why, and it might help me understand more what your plans are, so I can help you better
