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.

- On Specific Dates (e.g., January 19)
Tip: Scheduling is particularly useful for tracking changes in user-followed products 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 followed product data. TexAu provides the following options:
- Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, combining everything into one file.
- Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
- Overwrite: Replaces older data with the latest extracted results.
- Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to automatically remove repeated entries.
Tip: Google Sheets export is great for reviewing and sharing user-followed product data with your team in real time.
