The Product Followers Export automation helps you extract the list of users who are following a specific product on Product Hunt. This is valuable for marketers, product teams, and growth hackers looking to identify early adopters, build outreach lists, or analyze community engagement around a product. With multiple input options, scheduling, and export features, this automation makes it easy to capture real-time audience interest.

Step 1: Log in to TexAu and Search a Specific Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu. Use the search bar to find Product Followers Export automation.

Step 2: Select Your Input Source

TexAu offers flexible input methods to run the automation based on one or many Product Hunt product URLs.

Single Input

Use this to extract followers for a single product.

Enter Product Hunt Product URL: Paste the full link to the Product Hunt product page.
Extraction Limit (Max: 2500): Set how many followers to retrieve for that product.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for processing multiple product URLs in one go.

Extract Limit: Specify the number of followers to retrieve for each product (Max: 2500).

Optional Advanced Feature:

Watch Row triggers the automation whenever new product URLs are added to Google Sheets.

Watch Row Schedule:

None
Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)

Step 3: Execute Automations on TexAu Desktop or Cloud

Open the automation setup and select Desktop Mode.
Click Choose a Desktop to Run this Automation.
From the platform, select your connected desktop (status will show as "Connected") or choose a different desktop mode or account.
Click “Use This” after selecting the desktop to run the automation on your local system.
Alternatively, if you wish to run the automation on the cloud, click Run directly without selecting a desktop.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to monitor and export the list of followers for a specific product periodically. Click Schedule and configure the start time and recurrence frequency:

None
At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 20th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., November 19)
Tip: Scheduling helps track how a product’s follower base grows or changes over time.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

Note: This feature is applicable only when using Google Sheets or CSV as input sources.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage the extracted follower data. TexAu provides the following options:

Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

Tip: Google Sheets export is useful for sharing follower insights with your team or analyzing trends over time.

Step 7: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation completes, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu to view or download the results. Locate the Product Followers Export entry and click See Data to access the extracted product information.

The Product Followers Export automation helps you identify and track the users engaging with a specific Product Hunt listing. It’s a valuable tool for community building, lead generation, or understanding who’s showing interest in your competitors or niche tools.
