Twitter Auto Block

Step By Step Guide

The Twitter Auto Block automation enables you to block specific Twitter accounts in bulk based on predefined criteria, helping marketers, social media managers, and growth hackers manage their social media presence effectively. This tool can be used to block spam accounts, avoid distractions, and maintain a professional Twitter feed. With scheduling, desktop or cloud execution, and data export, the process is streamlined and efficient.

Step 1: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. To enable TexAu to block accounts on your behalf, connect your Twitter account. Click Add Account and select Twitter. Choose one of these secure connection methods:

Click Add Account and select Twitter

1. Use one of two connection methods:
   • Share via Magic Link: A secure and fast way to connect your Twitter account by receiving a login link in your email.
   • Add Account via Extension: Log in through TexAu’s built-in browser extension for a manual setup.

Tip: Use Magic Link for a quicker and more secure connection.

Step 2: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Navigate to the Automation Store, search for Twitter Auto Block, and click the automation to open its configuration page

Step 3: Choose Cloud or Desktop Automation

Select your preferred execution mode for the automation:

• Cloud:  Automate tasks on TexAu’s servers using built-in proxies. Add a custom proxy anytime via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
• Desktop: Run the automation on your local device using your IP address to simulate manual posting.
  Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

TexAu offers an efficient way to automatically block unwanted profiles on Twitter. This is especially helpful for managing spam or irrelevant accounts and keeping your Twitter account clean.

Specify the profiles to block using one of the following input methods:

Single Input

Use this option to block a single Twitter profile.

• Account: Select the Twitter account you want to use for blocking.
• Twitter Profile: Enter the URL of the Twitter profile to block.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for blocking multiple profiles stored in a Google Sheet.

1. Connect your Google account
   • Click Select Google Account to choose your connected account or add a new one using Add New Google Sheet Account.
2. Select your spreadsheet
   • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing Twitter profile URLs.
   • Choose the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where your data is stored.
3. Adjust processing options
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows of data to process.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.
4. Provide input details
   • Twitter Profile: Ensure the column in the sheet contains valid Twitter profile URLs.
5. Enable Loop Mode (Optional)
   • Turn on Loop Mode to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed.

Process a CSV File

This option allows blocking profiles from a static list stored in a CSV file.

• Upload the file
  • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing Twitter profile URLs.
  • TexAu will preview its content for verification.
• Adjust processing settings
  • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows to process.
  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.

  • Twitter Profile: Ensure the correct column contains valid Twitter profile URLs.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists and CSV files for static data.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s Schedule feature to run the automation at specific times. Click Schedule to configure the timing. Options include:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Automate blocking at intervals such as daily or weekly.
• Once: Schedule a one-time block for a specific date and time.
• Every Day: Automate daily blocking to maintain a clean feed.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Run the automation on certain days like Mondays or Fridays.
• On Specific Days of the Month: Schedule runs for specific dates like the 1st or 15th.
• On Specific Dates: Block accounts on key dates based on campaigns or events.

Tip: Scheduling ensures continuous feed management without manual intervention.

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 the extracted alumni 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 is ideal for teams working collaboratively and needing real-time data access.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to view or download the list of blocked accounts. Locate the Twitter Auto Block automation and click See Data to access your results.

The Twitter Auto Block automation is a powerful tool for cleaning up your Twitter feed, managing unwanted accounts, and maintaining a professional online presence. With flexible scheduling, customizable input options, and seamless export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool streamlines the process of blocking accounts efficiently.
