Description:
This template automates the process of following Instagram users who post under specific hashtags. You provide the hashtag, and Uxer automatically finds users and follows them based on your targeted topics.

How to Use It:

  1. Copy and paste this template into Uxer’s scenario builder.
  2. Ensure that you are logged into Instagram in Chrome before running the scenario.
  3. Save and run the scenario to automate following users who post under your targeted hashtags.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open Instagram in Browser
    Start by opening Instagram with incognito mode disabled to ensure the user remains logged into their account.

    OpenBrowser Chrome "https://www.instagram.com" -Incognito false

  2. Search for Your Targeted Hashtag
    Use Instagram’s search bar to find posts under a specific hashtag, such as “#aiautomation.” The Wait command ensures that the search bar is ready for input.

    Click Text "Search"
Wait Text "Recent"
Write "#aiautomation"

  3. Select the Hashtag from Results
    Click on the second instance of the hashtag to see posts related to your search.

    Click Text "#aiautomation" [1]

  4. Wait for the Page to Load
    Wait for the “Home” text to appear as proof that the page has fully loaded.

    Wait Text "Home"

  5. Follow the Hashtag
    Click the “Follow” button for the selected hashtag. This ensures that future occurrences of the “Follow” button in the background won’t interfere with the automation since the text will change to “Following”. If the hashtag is already followed, skips to the next step.
