Step By Step Guide

The Twitter Profile URL Finder helps locate Twitter profile URLs efficiently from usernames or lists. Founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers can use this tool for lead generation, outreach, or social media research. Below is the complete guide to setting up and running this automation in TexAu.

Step 1: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and retrieve the required data, connect your LinkedIn account:

1. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn.
2. Choose one of the following connection methods:
   • Share via Magic Link: Receive a secure link via email for a seamless login experience without manually entering cookies.
   • Add Account: Use TexAu’s built-in browser extension for direct setup and integration.

Tip: Opt for the Magic Link method for a quick and secure connection, avoiding manual cookie management.

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

Navigate to the Automation Store, search for Twitter Profile URL Finder, 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 simplifies the process of finding Twitter profile URLs by using names, company names, or handles. This automation ensures efficient data retrieval for personalized Twitter outreach or research purposes.

Single Input

Use this option for finding a single Twitter profile URL.

• Account: Select the Twitter account to perform the search.
• Search: Enter the name, company name, or handle to search for the Twitter profile.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for processing multiple search queries 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 the names, company names, or handles.
   • 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
   • Search: Ensure the column in the sheet contains valid names, company names, or handles for the search.
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 finding Twitter profile URLs from static data stored in a CSV file.

• Upload the file
  • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing search queries.
  • 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
  • Search: Ensure the correct column contains valid names, company names, or handles for the search.

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 specific times. Click Schedule and choose one of these options:

• None: Run immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Repeat the task (e.g., every 4 hours).
• Once: Execute a single run.
• Every Day: Run daily at a set time.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Select particular weekdays (e.g., Monday and Wednesday).
• On Specific Dates: Schedule the automation for specific calendar dates.

Tip: Use scheduling for recurring tasks, such as maintaining an updated list of Twitter 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, access the results by navigating to the Data Store section. Locate the Twitter Profile URL Finder automation, then click See Data to view or download the URLs.

Export the results for integration into your workflows, such as lead generation or social media campaigns.

The Twitter Profile URL Finder is a powerful tool for extracting profile URLs at scale. TexAu’s scheduling, output options, and cloud/desktop modes streamline tasks for founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers. Leverage this automation to optimize your Twitter outreach and lead-generation workflows.
