Three hidden hurdles in an Instagram comment-to-message tool

Pinglynk sends an private message about 0.4 seconds after someone comments a chosen keyword. It also provides a bio page that collects multiple links. Reach and save counts for video posts came back empty unless the app had the correct , and finding that cause took several days.

Building the posting flow was harder than expected because of CORS limits and media URL . A brand-new account behaved very differently from an established account used as the starting point, but no details or figures were given for that difference.
