Follow blacklist versus unfollow whitelist
The Follow blacklist blocks following selected accounts. The Unfollow whitelist keeps selected accounts followed. Their names describe different protected actions.
Add and import usernames
Enter one username per line or import a username CSV, then review syntax and resolution. A duplicate entry should not duplicate protection rows or actions.
Keep lists separate by Instagram account
Lists belong to one Instagram actor. Changing actors must show that actor’s lists and invalidate a preview made for another actor.
Check lists before each action
Changing a list increments its version and invalidates previews that used it. Recheck protection immediately before dispatch as well as during the preview.
