The Jarvee Contact Tool for Instagram allows you to automatically send messages to other users from the supported extraction links and new followers.  It also lets you reply to new messages.

You can access it by navigating to TOOLS page then click on MORE TOOLS or by clicking on the Instagram account – Contact tab.

It has 6 sub-tabs: Extract Users, Auto Extract, Use Extracted Users,  Send Messages To New Followers, Auto Reply To New Messages and Send Messages.

Extract Users

On this sub-tab, you can extract users from a valid extraction link.  You can extract followers, followings, commenters of an account, likers of an account and so on. A list of sample extraction links is displayed in the extraction box.

To start extracting, simply:

1. Set the number of users you want to extract
2. Specify the extraction link
3. When all is set (including the User Filters* you want to use), just click on the ‘Extract Users’ button
4. Should you wish to stop the extraction, just click on the ‘Stop OngoingExtractions’button

* User Filters:

Use the filter/s to extract only those users that will pass your preference.

1. Skip Non-English Users: this will check the username/fullname, bio or post caption for Non-English characters or alphabets and will skip them(Emojis are considered an English character)

6– 8. These filters are helpful for filtering bot accounts in terms of followers/followings that the account has.

9 – 10. This will check users bio/username/name for invalid words

20. Here you will see the extraction progress on the table right below the extraction box.

Auto Extract

The Auto Extract sub-tab works pretty much the same way as the Extract Users.  While with the latter, you will need to always add the extraction link and initiate the extraction, using the Auto Extract, you can add the extraction links where you want to scrape users from on a regular basis and Jarvee will do it automatically every X hours.

To start auto extracting:

1. Start the tool
2. Add the extraction link
3. Split Extracted users to your accounts
4. Set how often you want the extraction to happen and set a specific time to extract
5. Indicate the number of users you want to extract
6. Split Extracted users to accounts with the same tag
7. User Filters – this works similarly as the User Filters in the ‘EXTRACT USERS’ tab.
8. Here is where you will find the results of the extraction process.

Use Extracted Users

All users extracted via Extract Users and Auto Extract sub-tabs are sent to the Use Extracted Users sub-tab. From here, you will see 2 sections:

A. Select Users From The List – this is where you will see the extracted names, you can tick the checkbox beside the name of users you want to send a message to.

💡 As you may have noticed, there are several action links available above and below the ‘Select Users From The List’ table.

• Top – Advanced Selection, Remove Selected, Export Selected and Import Users
• Bottom – Select All, Select None
• More Actions button – Split Selected Users Between Accounts With The Same Tag (users will be sent to Use Extracted Members tab of other accounts with the same tag), Split Users and Send To ‘Send Messages’ Of Same Tag Accounts and Send To Follow Specific Users (use this option if you want to add the selected users to the follow specific users Source of the Follow tool)

Below it, you will find the options

• Send Second Message – you can choose to send a second message after X hours from the time the first message was sent.   You can either send the second message only if the user has replier OR if the user has not replied.

Auto Reply To New Messages

This option will automatically check newly received Direct Messages and respond to them accordingly. (Note that it will only apply for messages received from the time the tool was started).

1. Stop and Start switch – click this when you are about to start or stop the extraction of New Messages. Once it is started, all the extracted New Messages will be added to the “PENDING SEND MESSAGE” list found in the “Send Messages” Tab where you will also find the Stop and Start function when you are about to send out messages or stop the operation as shown in the image below:

2. Execute Between – this allows you to customize the time when you want the tool to execute, you can also add Time Intervals as well as randomize the intervals daily.

3. Enable reply based on Trigger words – this is are a really handy feature. You can add keywords (use “,” as a separator or use wildcards i.e.: car* it will include/match all words that start with car or *car* it will include/match all words that contain ‘car’.) You can also use the Tokens listed.

4. Once you have added Trigger words, you can then add specific messages to use when replying to messages that contain the trigger words you specified. To make it more unique, Jarvee allows you to use spin text to easily create multiple varied responses (you can also add Emoji from the “Add Emoji” button). You can download the guide on how to use the Spin Text feature here: https://bit.ly/2luE58M

 After adding Reply Message Text you can then click “ADD KEYWORDS TRIGGER” button.

Spin Text button – Here you can edit your reply as well as see the Statistics of the spin syntax.

5. After clicking “ADD KEYWORDS TRIGGER” button, this is where you will see the summary of the keywords and the corresponding messages that will be sent out.

Keyword Triggers are applied top-down when replying to message, the first one that matches will be the one used, even if multiple keyword triggers are applicable

6. You can also send photos and or a video along with the messages you created. All you have to do is either click on “PHOTOS” or “VIDEO” and upload the images or video. (Note: Make sure to limit your Videos to a maximum of 60 seconds.)

7. Reply to messages that contain specific words – unlike Trigger words which allows you to customize a certain reply for specified Trigger words, this option will reply to messages containing the specific words using the reply you added in the message text.

 When you use the Trigger words option, you should uncheck the “Reply to messages that contain specific words” and vice versa. When both options are checked take note that “Reply to messages that contain specific words” has the priority over the other option.

So if you have that checked and you say reply to messages containing “love, animals, birds” then if in Trigger words you have “animals” it will work. But if you have different trigger words no reply will be extracted because first the one with “love, animals,birds” (“Reply to messages that contain specific words” has the priority) will be respected and then the Trigger words option after that.

8. Do not reply to messages that contain specific words – You can add the multiple words in the field (separate the words using a comma). If the messages contain any of the words listed, it will not reply to that particular message.

9. Reply to new pending messages – When this option is checked if you want Jarvee to go through pending messages (messages that go in the pending requests list), approve them and then reply.

If this is unchecked, Jarvee will reply only to direct messages (messages received from followers).

 If the option is checked, it will reply only to pending messages.

10. Reply to all Messages – Check this option if you want to reply to both Direct Messages and Pending requests.

11. Reply to any message, not only to messages from new users – Check this option if you want to reply to any message, not only to messages received from new users.

 Only the most recent 20 direct messages will be analyzed and if the last reply from the message thread did not come from the user or account that is running the tool then it will be extracted.

The Trigger words and all the other settings will apply.

12. Prioritize message for the auto-reply – this will add the auto-reply messages at the top of the Pending Send Message List.

13. Like Message – Check this option if you want to like the direct message sent by the user. You can use this in combination with sending a text and/or photo/video or just use it by itself if you just want to like the message.

14. Send Secondary messages after certain hours – This allows you to set a certain time on when to send a secondary message as well as create a secondary message to send to users.

15. Check for new Messages – Here you can set the time on when you want Jarvee to check for new messages.

📌 Important things to remember:

As mentioned above, the Send Message sub-tab controls the entire Contact tool, hence if it’s not running (Status is Stopped), then none of the messages scheduled from “Use Extracted Users,  Send Messages To New Followers and Auto Reply To New Messages” will be sent.   Therefore, never forget to start the Contact Tool through the Send Message sub-tab.
