  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning for better data management.

Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Optional Advanced Feature:

• Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for tasks that require recurring updates.

Watch Row (Optional)

Watch Row feature provides seamless workflow automation by detecting new rows in Google Sheets and executing the assigned tasks immediately.

Set Watch Row settings by selecting an execution frequency and defining a monitoring period.

Watch Row Schedule

• None
• Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
• One-Time Execution
• Daily Execution
• Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Monday and Saturday)
• Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 10th and 28th)
• Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., November 12)

By default, Watch Row checks every 15 minutes and continues for five days unless modified.

With Watch Row, workflows stay updated automatically.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to manage Quora profile extraction using a static file. Follow these steps:

1. Upload the File
   • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing Quora profile URLs.
   • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.

• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 10)

Step 6: 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.

Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage data about the posted content. 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 for clean, organized data.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your results. Find the Quora Profile Following Export automation or the name you’ve entered, click See Data, then choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for quick access.
