Tutorial
Overview
The Product Hunt Makers Search Export automation helps you extract the list of makers (creators or contributors) associated with any product listed on Product Hunt. This is ideal for building outreach lists, tracking creators in specific niches, or identifying collaborators behind popular tools. You can use product names as input and export the data to Google Sheets or CSV for further analysis or contact enrichment.
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 Hunt Makers Search Export.

Step 2: Select Your Input Source
You can run the automation using a single product name or in bulk using Google Sheets or a CSV file.

Use this option to extract makers from a single Product Hunt listing.
- Enter Product Name: Type the exact name of the product as it appears on Product Hunt (e.g., “Slack”).
- Select Role (Optional): Choose to filter by Maker, Hunter, or leave it as All (default) to extract both.
- Makers Extraction Limit (Max: 3000): Define how many maker or hunter profiles to extract.

Step 3: Execute Automations on TexAu Desktop or Cloud

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Once
Every Day

On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 20th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., November 19)
Tip: Scheduling helps you stay updated on new makers added to product listings 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 maker 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 building maker/hunter outreach lists, team collaboration, or analyzing contributor activity 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 Hunt Makers Search Export entry and click See Data to access the extracted product information.
