Step 3: Choose Cloud or Desktop Execution

TexAu lets you choose how and where your automation runs. If you need speed and simplicity, use Cloud. For more control, run it locally on your machine.

• Cloud Mode: Run the automation on TexAu servers using built-in proxies.
• Desktop Mode: Execute the task from your own computer using your IP.

Tip: Use Desktop Mode to conserve cloud runtime credits and avoid proxy-related limitations.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

TexAu allows advanced scheduling to run your automations even when you're away. You can automate regular exports of award data on a set routine.

Click Schedule and choose a timing that suits your workflow:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., November 19)

Tip: Scheduling helps track how a product’s follower base grows or changes over time.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid rate-limiting or throttling, TexAu gives you control over how fast each item is processed.

• Minimum Delay
• Maximum Delay

Choose delay units in seconds, minutes, or hours. This is especially useful when processing large datasets. This feature is applicable only when using Google Sheets or CSV as input sources.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

TexAu allows you to choose exactly how your results are saved and organised.

• Export Format: Google Sheets or CSV
• Write Mode:
  • Append: Add new data to the end of the sheet/file.
  • Split: Create a new file for every run.
  • Overwrite: Replace previous results with new ones.
• Deduplicate: Enable this to avoid repeating data for the same product.

Tip: Google Sheets is best for live collaboration or team use.
