Best practices for safe AI automation: avoiding automated scraping blocks, staying within official platform APIs, and preventing shadowbans.
## Avoiding Account Suspensions and Shadowbans
Automating social media should never rely on headless browser automation or unauthorized private APIs, which frequently trigger platform bot-detection mechanisms.
### 3 Golden Rules for Safe Social Automation
1. **Always Use Official Graph / Partner APIs**: ESER AI connects through approved developer endpoints rather than brittle browser scripts.
2. **Respect Interaction Windows**: For Instagram/Facebook DMs, reply strictly within Meta's 24-hour customer service window.
3. **Maintain Human Control**: Use scheduled queue reviews to ensure every post aligns with community guidelines.
