Step 2: Select Your Input Source

Reddit Domain Search Export automation helps users search for all occurrences of a specific domain link on Reddit. It is useful for domain analysis, tracking mentions, or studying competitors.

Choose how to specify the domains you want to search for in Reddit posts. TexAu offers the following input options:

Use this option to search for a single domain on Reddit.

Search: Enter the specific domain URL (e.g., https://www.texau.com) you want to search for mentions on Reddit.
Extract Limit (Optional): Define the maximum number of posts to extract (default is 1000).
Account (Optional): Integrate third-party APIs for enhanced data processing, if needed.

Google Sheets

Use this option to manage bulk domain searches efficiently.

- Sheet: Specify the sheet name where the data is stored.
Adjust processing settings
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify the number of rows you want to process.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to search for domain occurrences on Reddit from a static CSV file.

- TexAu will display the file name and preview its content for verification.

Step 3: Execute Automations on TexAu Desktop or Cloud

Open the automation setup and select Desktop Mode.
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.
Click “Use This” after selecting the desktop to run the automation on your local system.
Alternatively, if you wish to run the automation on the cloud, click Run directly without selecting a desktop.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to monitor Reddit for domain mentions automatically. Click Schedule to configure the timing and recurrence of the automation:

None
At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 6 hours)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Friday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 10th and 25th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., December 15)
Tip: Scheduling allows you to consistently track mentions of your domains over time, keeping you updated on brand or competitor activity.

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.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing fields for Minimum Delay, Maximum Delay, and time units.

Step 6: 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 export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time, particularly useful for alumni network management and analysis.
Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Output Mode settings with options for Google Sheets, CSV, Append, Split, and Deduplicate.

Step 7: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to view your results. Locate the Reddit Domain Search Export entry and click See Data to analyze or download the extracted information.
