⏱️ New: run the Follow-Up Nudge every few hours, not just once a day
- The nudge scheduler now has the same "every few hours" option Mass Messenger gained recently: pick 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours and the follow-ups go out in smaller batches through the day instead of one block in the morning.
- Your daily cap is shared across those slots, so a 40-a-day cap on a 4-hour schedule sends roughly 7 per run. Nothing goes out in a slot that has already spent its share, and a slot that starts late is not skipped, it simply runs when the app is free.
- Two Mass Messenger interval bugs found along the way are fixed too: a run that started late could be dropped, and the next run time could land in the past.
🔍 Fixed: a reply check that failed showed raw data and could not be retried
- When Instagram would not hand back a conversation, the Analytics screen showed a wall of technical text. It now says what happened in plain English, for example that the thread is no longer readable, and whether it looks like the app is signed into a different account than the one that sent the messages.
- Each contact now has its own Re-check button, so one failed lookup no longer means re-running the whole campaign.
🚦 Fixed: automations could run on top of each other
- Mass Messenger, the Follow-Up Nudge, Follow and Unfollow, follower scrapes, reply checks, post scans, the Outlier Finder, Comment Genie and the rest each kept their own idea of "busy". Two of them could open Chrome on your account at the same moment, which is how accounts get signed out, and a post scan could take over the tab a campaign was sending from.
- They now share one view. A scheduled run that finds the account in use waits its turn and runs when it is free, and a button you press while something else is running tells you exactly what is running instead of silently doing nothing.
- A held run also survives a Dock click or your Mac waking up; before, that pushed it to the next day.
🔁 Fixed: scheduled Unfollow lists never ran
- Scheduling an Unfollow list looked like it worked, but the schedule was quietly cleared the first time it came due, so nothing was ever unfollowed on a timer. Scheduled Unfollow runs now happen.
🖥️ Fixed: two copies of the app could run at once
- Launching Social Prospector while it was already open could start a second copy, and two copies meant two schedulers working the same account. A second launch now brings the running app forward instead, and opens its window if you had closed it.
