Alerts and auto-message

The Alerts tab gathers your Vinted notifications in one place and lets you write to people who liked your listing: one by one or all at once. With auto-message on, it does this by itself every 5 minutes, even with the panel hidden.

Tab: Alerts
The Alerts tab: the auto-message card and the like list. The numbers match the steps below.

Why message people who liked

A like is a clear sign of interest, and most likes go nowhere. A short message ("Hi, I see you like the jacket. I can knock a bit off if you take it today") turns some of them into sales. With dozens of likes a day, nobody does this by hand.

Notifications and manual sending

When you open the tab, Vintly fetches up to the 60 newest notifications on its own. Filters: All, Likes (with a count) and Reviews. Every like has a button whose label tells you where that person stands:

LabelMeaning
✉ Sendyou can send the message; a click sends it right away
Checking… / Sending…Vintly is checking the chat or sending right now
✓ Sentthe message went out
Already messagedVintly already wrote to this person about this item, or the chat was not empty
Errorit failed; click again

✉ Reply to all (9) messages every like with a "✉ Send" label on the list, one after another, every 4-9 seconds. Manual sending takes whatever text is in the box right now, even if you have not saved it. Sending works like Vinted’s "Message" button: it opens a chat with that person about that item and sends the text.

Automatic message on like

  1. Write the text
    The card at the top holds a ready greeting; change it to your own. Short, human, with something concrete (a discount, ships today, "ask about measurements"). The text goes out exactly as typed: variables like {name} or {item} do not work here.
  2. Decide the scope
    "Only clean chats" (on by default) skips any chat about that item that already has something in it: a message from the buyer, yours, or a price offer. With it off, Vintly skips only chats where you have already written.
  3. Turn it on
    The switch in the card header saves everything at once; Save confirms later text changes. The "Enabled · every 5 min" status confirms it is running. The first check happens after about 5 minutes, and every save while it is on restarts that 5-minute countdown.

What happens every 5 minutes

  1. CheckEvery 5 minutes, while Chrome and a Vinted tab are open.
  2. Newest 20Fetches the 20 newest notifications and picks the new likes.
  3. Chat empty?Checks the chat with that person against your scope.
  4. SendEvery 4-9 seconds, one person at a time.

Other errorsno retryThat like is skipped for good; you can send by hand from the list.

With the Alerts tab open, the results of the last check appear under the card, e.g. "✓ Sent to anna_k".

Once on, it also replies to recent likes
The first check covers likes among the 20 newest notifications, including ones from before you turned it on. There is no way to exclude them beforehand; only people whose chat is not empty are skipped (with "Only clean chats" on).
Tone matters
The same message reaches everyone who likes. Avoid pressure ("last one!", "others are asking"), because some buyers report such messages as spam. One sentence with a real benefit works better than three sentences of persuasion.

Common questions

I changed the text. Will people who already got a message get the new one?

No. Vintly remembers which likes it already handled and sees your earlier message in the chat, so the new text goes only to new likes.

I closed the browser for the night. What about the night’s likes?

Once a Vinted tab is open, the automation starts at the next check, within 5 minutes, and replies to likes among the 20 newest notifications. If more came in overnight, handle the older ones by hand from the list.

The status says "Enabled" but nothing goes out

Check that a Vinted tab is open and your subscription is active. After an extension update or a browser restart, switch it off and on again to restart the checks.
