Troubleshooting Bleam automations on Vinted

If you use Brave, start here. Its Shields block the exchanges between Bleam and Vinted: automations look inactive, with no error message at all.

Open vinted.fr, click the lion icon in the address bar and switch "Shields" to "Down" for that site. Do the same on bleam.app, then reload both tabs.

On Chrome, Edge or Opera there is no shield. If an ad blocker is installed there, turn it off for those same two sites.

Open a Vinted conversation and send a message, or create a listing draft then edit it. If Vinted shows a captcha, solve it: Bleam will resume automatically.

Don't just close the tabs. On Mac: right-click the dock icon, then Force Quit. On Windows: right-click the taskbar icon, then Close Window. Then relaunch the browser.

Go to brave://extensions or chrome://extensions, find Bleam, click "Details" and check the version number. If it's outdated, enable developer mode and click "Update".

If the issue persists, force the update rather than starting over: on brave://extensions or chrome://extensions, turn on developer mode then click "Update". The full walkthrough is in Update the extension.

Do not uninstall Bleam: it does not fix this kind of block, and it sends you back through the whole account-linking flow.

If it's mainly your favorite messages or AI replies that aren't sending, check these five points. They're the causes our support runs into most often.

1. AI replies: the assistant only answers unread messages. If you open a conversation yourself on Vinted, Vinted marks it as read: the assistant considers you have taken over and doesn't reply there. Leave unread the messages you want the assistant to handle (see Reply to questions). Favorite messages are not affected: a conversation shown on screen doesn't stop them from going out.

2. Vinted limit. Vinted caps how many messages you can send per hour. Beyond that, Bleam pauses automatically and resumes on its own a little later. It's not a failure: your remaining messages will go out afterwards, just spread over time.

3. Sending isn't instant. Bleam checks new favorites roughly every 4 to 6 minutes (the interval deliberately varies) and sends the message in the minutes that follow. Right after you turn it on, the very first send can take a little longer to start. Let it run before concluding it's stuck.

4. The browser must stay open and the PC switched on. Bleam runs inside your browser: keep a Vinted tab open and the computer on. To keep Bleam running with the computer off, there's Bleam Cloud.

5. Check that favorite messages are enabled. The toggle is in the Bleam bubble on Vinted (it's also available in Bleam). If it's off, nothing is sent.

If no step resolves the issue, contact the Bleam team via Bleam help bubble (on a computer, Support button at the top of the screen on a phone, where you can open a ticket) or on Bleam's Discord server, for a personal diagnosis.
