Growbot Documentation
Guides for growing and managing your Instagram presence with Growbot.
Getting started
Install, open, and keep Growbot running on Instagram.
How to install and open Growbot
Install from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, then open Growbot on any Instagram page.
How to keep Growbot running without interruption
Growbot runs inside your browser tab. If the tab gets suspended or your computer sleeps, Growbot pauses until you come back.
Growbot free trial and subscription pricing
Growbot comes with a 3-day free trial. After that, you pick a monthly or yearly plan to continue.
Accounts Queue
Load, filter, and process Instagram accounts.
How to load Instagram followers into Growbot
Pull followers, following, likers, commenters, and other account lists into the Accounts Queue so you can process them.
How to follow and unfollow Instagram users with Growbot
Follow accounts from the queue to grow your audience, then unfollow the ones who did not follow you back.
Whitelist, blacklist, and attempted lists in Growbot
Growbot keeps three lists that control which accounts it interacts with and which it skips.
Queue stamps in Growbot explained
Stamps are labels that appear next to usernames in the queue. They tell you whether Growbot already processed an account or if it belongs to one of your lists.
Filters
Narrow your queue to accounts that match your target audience.
Actions Queue
Schedule follows, unfollows, and other actions across the day.
How to schedule Instagram actions with the Actions Queue
The Actions Queue lets you schedule follows, unfollows, and other actions to run at specific times throughout the day, even after a page refresh.
Run Now vs. Schedule Actions in Growbot
Growbot gives you two ways to process your queue: Run Now for immediate back-to-back actions, or Schedule Actions to spread them across your active hours.
Media Queue
Load posts, like media in bulk, watch Reels, and comment on posts.
How to use the Media Queue to like posts and watch Reels
The Media Queue holds Instagram posts and Reels. Use it to like posts in bulk, watch Reels, or grab the posters and commenters for the Accounts Queue.
How to comment on Instagram posts with Growbot
Load posts into the Media Queue, write comment templates using spintax for variation, and let Growbot post comments automatically.
Community Monitoring
Track followers, detect unfollowers and bots, and set up automatic responses.
Multi-account
Run Growbot across multiple Instagram accounts with the mother-child strategy.
Settings and data
Configure delays, export data, customize the queue display, and manage Growbot settings.
Configuring delays, wait times, and rate limit retries
Growbot's delay settings control how long it waits between actions and how it handles Instagram rate limits. Slower settings are safer.
Exporting your queue to CSV and saving queue data
Export any queue to a CSV file with the columns you choose, or save queues to your browser's local storage for later use.
Troubleshooting
Fix common issues with rate limits, filters, and Growbot behavior.
