A random caption will be generated for each image

General information on the General search and action page

Sending a direct message is a great way to be in direct contact with a user, but be careful it is also the easiest to abuse / spam and annoy. For specifying your messages, it all works the same as the commenting module, so take a look at that section just above

Adv Pre Actions

Pre actions are actions you perform on the account or image before performing the main action. For example you can specify to follow the account before reposting the image, you can specify to like the 4 most recent images of the account before. For more information on Adv Pre-Actions, please see that section.

Comments

General search information on the General search and action page

../images/comments.png

Enter your comments ONE PER LINE, each line is a separate comment. Your comments will be posted in sequence. If typing a multi line comment on a single line is just blowing your mind, this talk of line breaks, new lines, <br> n are just confusing, don't worry help is at hand. Click the ADD SINGLE link, and you can now add the a single comment as you want it, over multiple lines. InstaDUB will then add it as a single line to the multi line multi comment control

Search and Action Modules

in guide

Several of the action tabs are of a similar appearance and fundamentally work the same way. These are

  • Like
  • Follow
  • Comment
  • Repost

These modules work by you specifying a search that will be used to find some items (either accounts or images) that will be actioned upon (followed / liked / commented etc)

The search action tabs will all contain the following options

Search Input box Pre-defined search dropdown Custom Search Builder option Adv Pre-Actions Filter (either image filter / user filter) Ability to whitelist items Random Pause Repeat Hours / minutes Number of repeats Max Repeats per day Threading Max Actions Fluctuate +- Scheduler (along with daily runner option) Share across accounts Unique items per account

Account Settings

in guide

../images/account_details.png

Mobile Settings

Once you have added your accounts, you can view all the settings regarding the account by checking the box Mobile settings and Advanced settings. The mobile settings allow you to change the mobile properties of the mobile device you are using. Unless you know what you are doing, you probably don't want to be changing anything apart from:

  • Manufacturer
  • Model

If you did change the values and find things have stopped working, you can reset back to the defaults by clicking the link RESET MOBILE VALUES

NOTE:
InstaDUB automates the Android app, do not set iPhone specific values.....

Add Account

in guide

Add Account

To add your account, there are two options.

../images/addaccounts.png

Using the Account Details form, or via Importing. If you want to add a single account, or just a few, the Account Details form is the best way.

../images/add_account_details.png

After adding your username, password (and optional proxy) your account will be validated. The program will attempt to login with the details provided. This will return successfully or fail. If the program cannot validate your account details, but you are sure they are correct, you can uncheck the option VERIFY ON SAVE. This will save your account but NOT attempt to validate the account.

Getting started

in guide

If you haven't yet, please do check out the tutorial videos that guide you through adding your account and a quick run through of the major actions in the application. Click here for the Getting Start Video Tutorial series:

The program is quite straight: add your account, create actions for your account, run the actions in the processor. Actions are where everything takes place, you create them from the relevant "action tabs" where you specify what accounts to use, what items should be processed and any settings to apply to the action. When the action is created, it is sent to the Processor (also referred to as the processing tab). The processing tab lists all actions you have created. In order to "run" your actions, you have to turn the Processor ON, to do this, click RUN.

.. TEASER_END
NOTE: If all your actions are marked as WAITING, your processor is NOT on. Click RUN.

When your actions are running, you can view real time logs of the action by double clicking the action row. To run more than a single action at any one time, you would need to increase the THREAD, one thread can processor one action. To process 5 actions simultaneously, set 5 threads.

NOTE:
If you have increased the threads and still you are only processing one action, it is probably because you have the safety mode option on "process one action per account at any one time". This stops you processing multiple actions for the same account at any one time (this could be a give away you are using a bot). This option can be turned on / of via the SETTINGS tab.

Gotchas

If your actions are not running yet the processor is on and the actions are being rescheduled, it could be your WORKING HOURS are not allowing the actions to run. Working hours let you specify when the accounts can start new actions, you can set these from the Account Details Form (to view working hours controls, check the ADVANCED box.
