Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use the Schedule feature to automate media extraction at specific intervals. Click Schedule to configure your desired schedule. Options include:

• None: Run the automation immediately without scheduling.
• At Regular Intervals: Extract media files at intervals such as every few hours or days.
• Once: Schedule a one-time run for a specific date and time.

Tip: Scheduling ensures continuous media tracking and helps you stay updated with new content from your target profiles.

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 extracted media files. Locate the Twitter Profile Media Export automation and click See Data to access your results.
