Adjusting the Settings

You can use the default Zen-Promo settings, but we recommend that you adjust them according to your needs to achieve better results.

Custom Settings

To change the settings, go to the bottom of the account page and tap on Settings. If you have connected multiple accounts, repeat the following steps for all Instagram accounts.

Let’s take a look at the settings.

Likes

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to like posts of the accounts from your target audience.
Mutual likes checkbox: when enabled, allows the service to like posts of the accounts that liked your posts.
Like my followers checkbox: when enabled, allows the service to like posts of your followers. (The checkbox features do not affect the performance of the default liking tool).

Follows

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to follow accounts matching your target audience.
Hide posts and stories checkbox (recommended): when enabled, allows you to hide posts from the accounts that the service has followed for you.

Stories

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to watch stories of accounts from your target audience. If you have a well-matched target audience, this interaction will provide you with great account engagement.

Comments

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to comment on posts of the accounts from your target audience. You can customize the comments and compile a list of them for the service to use. To do so, tap on Add comments.

The service sends random comments from the list. We recommend that you use comments on the same topic that contain greetings and praise that will trigger a positive reaction from your target audience.

Auto DM

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to send DMs to your new followers. Similar to comments, you can customize the comments and compile a list of them. To do so, tap on Add auto-direct message.

The service sends random messages from the list. We recommend that you use messages on the same topic that contain greetings and praise that will trigger a positive reaction from your followers.
Note: To enable this setting, one of the settings (Likes, Follows, Stories, or Comments) must be enabled.

Unfollow

This setting, when enabled, allows the service to unfollow the accounts.
Autounfollows checkbox: when enabled, the service starts to unfollow you from accounts when you surpass 7500 followings.
Mutual unfollows checkbox: when enabled, the service unfollows accounts that are not following you.
The White list allows you to add accounts that you will not be unfollowed from.

Targeting (Filtering out potential followers)

Here you can set filters to determine the target audience that Zen-Promo will be interacting with. You can choose one of the following sources: competitors, hashtags, location, or your account list. After you set the filters, Zen-Promo starts engaging with the relevant accounts.

By competitors

Enter the usernames of your competitors or profiles with the desired target audience and choose them from the combobox.

By hashtags

Enter hashtags relevant to your target audience and choose them from the combobox. The service will interact with the users that upload posts with selected hashtags.

You can also upload a TXT file containing the list of the hashtags relevant to your target audience. Note: The usernames must be arranged line by line.

By location

Enter locations relevant to your target audience and choose them from the combobox. The service will interact with the users that upload posts with selected locations.

You also can manually mark the location using the green marker. To further refine geotags for the selected locations, enter geotag keywords and tap on Enable geotags from advanced research.

Account list

You can upload a TXT file containing the list of the accounts that Zen-Promo will interact with. Note: The usernames must be arranged line by line.

We recommend that you use our service AvoData for compiling lists of accounts based on their followings, hashtags, locations, and other options. The service allows you to export lists in different formats, including .txt (compatible with Zen-Promo).

Hot audience

Hot audience is those who have lately posted content with hashtags and/or locations set by you or followed accounts from your list of competitors. Generally, these users are more willing to explore posts and accounts related to their content.

Hot audience only checkbox, when enabled, makes the service interact exclusively with the following users:

1. New followers of accounts from your list of competitors,
2. Users that have recently posted content with hashtags set by you as relevant to your target audience,
3. Users that have recently posted content with locations set by you as relevant to your target audience.

Note: We recommend that you enable this feature when the hashtags and locations set by you are constantly being used by other users. Similarly, users from your competitor list should consistently gain a following. When there is little content or users to interact with, the service may take way longer to boost your profile. Examples of hot topics that users regularly interact with: football, gel polish, extreme, DIY, nanoplasty, Mexico tourism. Such topics are popular among users regardless of their age and location.

On the contrary, such topics as electric arc welding, Pritchett tourism, and felting with platypus wool are barely updated with new content. It is, therefore, not recommended to use with the Hot audience only feature enabled.

Filtering in Audience

Here you can set filters for your target audience for Zen-Promo to interact with. These filters include gender and numbers of followings and followers. Moreover, you can filter out users with Unwanted categories checkboxes: Commercial accounts and Private accounts.

1. Gender filter: using the neural network algorithm, our system determines whether user behavior and content are typical for male or female users.
2. Numbers of followings and followers filter: the service will interact exclusively with the users according to the number filter you set,
3. Unwanted categories checkboxes: when enabled, the setting prevents the service from interacting with commercial and/or private accounts.

Proxy server

You can connect to Zen-Promo through your proxy server. To do so, enter data in Login, Password, Server and Port fields and tap Check proxy.

A proxy server is used to connect to your Instagram from multiple devices using the same IP address. You can use a proxy server to use the same IP address to access Instagram on multiple devices.

If your Instagram is connected to multiple services (auto posting, grid layout, etc.), we recommend that you use a proxy server to ensure better performance of the services.
