Twitter Auto Mute

Step By Step Guide

The Twitter Auto Mute automation allows you to automatically mute specific Twitter accounts based on predefined criteria. This tool is ideal for marketers, social media managers, and growth hackers looking to declutter timelines, avoid distractions, or refine their social media feeds for more targeted engagement. With scheduling, bulk processing, and export options, this automation streamlines the muting process.

Step 1: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

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

• Share via Magic Link: Authenticate via a secure email link for seamless setup.
• Add Account via Browser Extension: Use TexAu’s browser extension to directly link your Twitter account.

Tip: The Magic Link method is faster and avoids manual cookie handling.

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

Navigate to the Automation Store and search for Twitter Auto Mute in the search bar to locate this tool.

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 provides an efficient way to automatically mute unwanted profiles on Twitter. This is particularly useful for reducing noise on your feed and managing the relevance of content on your timeline.

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

Single Input

Use this option to mute a single Twitter profile.

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

Google Sheets

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

1. Connect your Google account
   • 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 muting 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.
• Provide input details
  • 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 without scheduling.
• At Regular Intervals: Automate muting at intervals like daily or weekly.
• Once: Schedule a one-time muting session for a specific date and time.
• Every Day: Automate daily muting for consistent feed management.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Run the automation on certain days, such as Mondays or Fridays.
• On Specific Days of the Month: Schedule runs for specific dates, like the 1st or 15th.
• On Specific Dates: Automate muting on particular dates based on campaigns or events.

Tip: Scheduling ensures that your Twitter feed stays refined and distractions are minimized consistently.

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 export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time, particularly useful for alumni network management and analysis.

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 muted account list. Locate the Twitter Auto Mute automation and click See Data to access your results.

The Twitter Auto Mute automation is a powerful tool for decluttering your Twitter feed and maintaining focus. With flexible scheduling, bulk input options, and seamless export to Google Sheets or CSV, this automation helps marketers, sales professionals, and growth hackers streamline feed management and optimize social media efficiency.
