Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

TexAu allows you to set a delay between iterations to mimic natural behavior and avoid rate-limiting or throttling issues.

To simulate a natural pace and prevent API throttling, configure an Iteration Delay. Set Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to vary the time interval between each archive export. You can choose seconds, minutes, or hours as the delay units.This feature is applicable only when using Google Sheets or CSV as input sources.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

TexAu gives you full control over how the exported data is managed, stored, and updated.

Export Options: Choose to export data directly to Google Sheets or a CSV file for convenient storage and analysis.
Output Management:
- Append (Default): Add new archive data to the existing file.
- Split: Create a new file for each automation run.
- Overwrite: Replace previous records with the latest.
Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to avoid collecting duplicate entries from your input.

Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets is ideal for ongoing analysis, reporting, or visualization dashboards.
