How Draw Giveaway Winners works

4 steps, in order, on every run.

  1. Collect Giveaway CommentsRead all available comments from your chosen post when entries close. Stop and flag any comment page the account cannot reach.
  2. Check Entry RulesKeep comments within your entry window and apply your comment rule, if set. Exclude listed accounts and flag comments missing an author or time.
  3. Limit Entries and Draw WinnersKeep the first allowed comments per person, then randomly draw distinct winners. Report a shortfall if too few people qualify.
  4. Return Winners and Draw DetailsShow the winning authors and original comments. Include the applied rules, entry counts, exclusions, and draw order for review.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Draw Giveaway Winners:

How do I choose a winner for an Instagram giveaway?

Choose your post, entry window, winner count, and any exclusions before the cutoff. At closing time, the Agent checks comments and randomly draws distinct people.

Can I limit how many times someone enters?

Yes. Set the maximum entries per person before comments close. The draw keeps each person's earliest eligible comments up to that limit.

What if there are too few eligible people?

You get a shortfall report instead of extra winners. Review your rules and start a new draw if you need to change them.

Will the results appear on my giveaway post?

No. You receive a private result with the winning comments and draw details to review before announcing winners.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
