The Product Hunt Related Launches Search Export automation helps you extract a list of past or related launches by the same makers or teams behind a specific Product Hunt product. This tool is useful for competitor research, identifying serial makers, or understanding the product ecosystem around a launch. You can use product names as input and export the data to Google Sheets or CSV.

Step 1: Log in to TexAu and Search a Specific Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu. Use the search bar to find Product Hunt Related Launches Search Export.

Step 2: Select Your Input Source

You can extract related launches using a single Product Hunt search URL. This option is ideal when you want to fetch launch data related to one specific product or query.

• Click Choose a Desktop to Run this Automation.
• From the platform, select your connected desktop (status will show as "Connected") or choose a different desktop mode or account.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to automatically search for and export new product launches related to a specific search term or query. Click Schedule and choose when and how often the automation should run:

• 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)

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.

Note: This feature is applicable only when using Google Sheets or CSV as input sources.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage the extracted related product launch data. TexAu offers several output 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: Exporting to Google Sheets is a great way to track related launches in real time, share findings with your team, or build competitive analysis dashboards.
