DM to new followers

[iransales]

Please can you implement send DM to new followers. PLEASE

[sudoguy]

I did write some script in examples. Welcome https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/blob/master/examples/welcome_message.py

[choskii]

I saw your script for direct message to new followers. I'm a beginner, and have Instabot already configured running. Where should I add or run your script for automatic dm? Thank you so much!

[constantinosbou]

Yes, please more info!

i'm receiving this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "welcome_message.py", line 15, in from instabot import Bot, utils ImportError: cannot import name 'utils' D:\Fabrica_Python\instagrambot\examples>

solved using pip install huepy==0.9.8.1

I get the following error when the script intends to send a DM to a new follower:

2018-05-08 09:17:16,838 - ERROR - Request returns 400 error! 2018-05-08 09:17:16,839 - INFO - Instagram's error message: feedback_required 2018-05-08 09:17:16,839 - INFO - Message to ['xxx'] wasn't sent

What is this feedback_required?

I found this article explaining it. Has nothing to do with the code, it seems.

Thanks @sudoguy for your script. I wonder if we can print username in the message ? for example, if I'm sending a message to sudoguy, message should be something like this "thank you for follow @username " is that possible somehow?

[basnijholt]

@eyazilikaya just make the message:

'Thank you for following me @{}'.format(bot.get_user_info(follower)['username'])

so change the last lines into:

for follower in tqdm(new_followers):
    MESSAGE = 'Thank you for following me @{}'.format(bot.get_user_info(follower)['username'])
    if bot.send_message(MESSAGE, follower):
        notified_users.append(follower)

[iransales]

How do I send more than one message? For example: 1 : Hi @marcel 2 : We have the best prices 3 *: contact us by email

[iransales]

Can someone answer my question above?

[iransales]

@basnijholt ?

[basnijholt]

@iransales could you write what you tried yourself in order to do this?
