Twitter Auto Unfollow

Step By Step Guide

The Twitter Auto Unfollow automation enables you to streamline your Twitter account by automatically unfollowing users based on specific criteria, such as non-followers. This tool is especially useful for founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers to maintain a relevant and engaged follower base.

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. 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 Unfollow, 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 provides an efficient way to unfollow profiles on Twitter, helping you manage your connections and maintain a relevant network.

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

Single Input

Use this option to unfollow a single Twitter profile.

• Account: Select the Twitter account to use for unfollowing profiles.
• Twitter Profile URL: Enter the URL of the Twitter profile you want to unfollow.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for managing multiple profiles to unfollow, 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 to process.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.
4. Provide input details
   • Twitter Profile URL: 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 unfollowing profiles from a static list stored in a CSV file.

1. Upload the file
   • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing Twitter profile URLs.
   • TexAu will preview its content for verification.
2. 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.
3. Provide input details
   • Twitter Profile URL: 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)

Schedule the automation to run at your preferred times:

1. Click Schedule to open the scheduling options.
2. Choose one of the following frequencies:
   • None: Run the automation immediately.
   • At Regular Intervals: E.g., every 8 hours or daily.
   • Once: Run the automation on a specific date and time.
   • Every Day: Repeat the automation daily.
   • On Specific Days of the Week: E.g., every Monday and Wednesday.
   • On Specific Days of the Month: E.g., on the 1st and 15th.
   • On Specific Dates: E.g., February 10.

Tip: Automating the process at regular intervals ensures your follower list stays relevant and organized.

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

Review the results of the automation in the Data Store:

1. Navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu.
2. Locate the Twitter Auto Unfollow automation and click See Data to download or review the logs.

Conclusion

The Twitter Auto Unfollow automation helps keep your Twitter connections meaningful by unfollowing inactive or irrelevant accounts. By utilizing TexAu’s scheduling, iteration delay, and output features, you can efficiently manage your social media strategy while exporting data to Google Sheets or CSV for detailed tracking.
