Twitter hashtag scraper is a Twitter automation that exports all the Tweets mentioning a #hashtag of your choice. All the Tweets are extracted to a .CSV spreadsheet that you can use in Excel, or plug into another of our Twitter automations.

How to use exported Tweets lists?

Having a list of Tweets with a specific hashtag is very useful because it gathers a bunch of people interested in a specific topic. This targeted list can be used for sales or marketing purposes, or any purpose you see fit.

For instance, let’s say you’re an Ice-cream shop in Byron Bay, Australia:

  1. Extract all the Tweets mentioning #byronbay #surfing.
  2. Plug Twitter auto-liker to the results.
  3. Add to that Twitter auto-commenter to comment “How about an ice-cream after surf, mate?”.

And wait for the customers to visit your shop!

Exporting Tweets can also be useful to grow your audience, analyze date, and many other purposes!

FAQ

How do I add a new profile?

To connect your Twitter profile and perform this automation, you must:

Why would I use Google Sheets?

When you want to export multiple targets without having to change the #2 field every time, you can use a Google spreadsheet URL instead.

To do this, simply put every target URLs you want to target in the first column of the sheet like so:

add twitter profile to gsheet

Then make your Google sheet public. Without it, TexAu won’t be able to access it.

How to schedule my automation to launch multiples times?

Automation is not always welcomed. To avoid being suspended, prefer making many small launches over one big launch.
