Step 4: Select Your Input Source

TexAu simplifies building Twitter people lists by streamlining the process of adding Twitter profiles to lists efficiently. This tool is beneficial for organizing connections or creating targeted audiences.

• Twitter List URL: Enter the URL of the Twitter list where profiles will be added.
• Profile URL: Provide the Twitter profile URL to be added to the list.

Google Sheets

Use this option to automate adding multiple profiles from a Google Sheet.

1. Connect your Google account

   • Turn on Loop Mode to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start after all rows are completed.

This option enables adding profiles from a static CSV file.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s Schedule feature to run the automation at specific times to regularly update or build new lists. Click Schedule to configure the timing. Options include:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Set recurring runs, such as daily or weekly.

Tip: Scheduling ensures you regularly capture new and relevant accounts for targeted engagement.

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 Twitter list. Locate the Twitter People List Builder automation and click See Data to access your results.
