Follow this guide to configure the automation for tailored replies to tweets or mentions, with export options to Google Sheets or CSV for record-keeping.

Step 1: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Connect your Twitter account. Click Add Account and select Twitter. TexAu provides secure methods for account integration:

• Share Via Magic Link: Receive a secure email link to authenticate your account without manual input.
• Add Account via Browser Extension: Use TexAu’s extension to link your account seamlessly.

Tip: Use the Magic Link for a quick and hassle-free setup without worrying about entering cookies manually.

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

Navigate to the Automation Store and enter Twitter Auto Reply in the search bar to locate this tool, which helps you send automated replies to targeted tweets or mentions.

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 allows you to automate replying to tweets on Twitter, streamlining engagement and ensuring timely responses.

Single Input

Use this option to reply to a single tweet.

• Account: Select the Twitter account to use for the reply.
• Post URL: Enter the URL of the tweet to reply to.
• Comment: Write your reply in the provided box.
• Insert AI Template: Utilize TexAu’s AI suggestions to craft a comment quickly.

Google Sheets

Use this option to reply to multiple tweets from a spreadsheet.

1. Connect Your Google Account
   Click Select Google Account to link or choose an existing account. Use Add New Google Sheet Account if required.
2. Select Your Spreadsheet
   Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet. Choose the spreadsheet and specific sheet where data is stored.
3. Adjust Processing Options
   Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows to process.
   Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Skip rows if needed.
4. Provide Input Details
   • Post URL: Ensure the sheet contains valid tweet URLs.
   • Comment: Include your replies in the respective column or use Insert AI Template for suggestions.
5. Add Additional Inputs
   • Get Data: Use the “Get Data” option to fetch specific fields from your spreadsheet for processing.
6. Enable Additional Features
   Use Loop Mode to restart from the beginning of the sheet after processing all rows.

Process a CSV File

Use this option for a static list of tweets to reply to.

• Upload the File
  Click Upload CSV File to import the file with tweet URLs. Verify the data in the preview.

  Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Set the number of rows for processing.

Tips

Use Insert AI Template to generate professional and context-specific replies quickly. Google Sheets is recommended for dynamic or frequently updated lists, while CSV files are ideal for static data. Adding Get Data from Google Sheets ensures smooth handling of specific fields for large-scale automation.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to run at specific times to manage engagement efficiently. Click Schedule and configure the timing:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Set a specific interval (e.g., every hour or day).
• Once: Execute the automation at a designated time.
• Every Day: Run daily at the same time.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Schedule specific days (e.g., every Monday).
• On Specific Dates: Choose exact calendar dates (e.g., December 1).

Tip: Scheduling ensures consistent interaction while preventing overactivity during off-hours.

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

After the automation completes, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu. Locate the Twitter Auto Reply automation and click See Data to view or download the log of tweets or mentions replied to.

Conclusion

The Twitter Auto Reply automation simplifies engagement by automatically replying to targeted tweets or mentions, saving time and effort. With options for scheduling, iteration delays, and data export, this tool is perfect for marketers, founders, and sales managers looking to enhance their Twitter interactions.
