2. Select your spreadsheet
   • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing location details.
   • Choose the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where your data is stored.
3. Adjust processing options

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 trends regularly. Click Schedule and configure the start time and recurrence frequency:

• 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 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 10)
  Tip: Scheduling ensures you stay updated on emerging trends without manual intervention.

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

Once the automation completes, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu to view or download your results. Locate the Reddit Trends Export entry and click See Data to access the extracted trending content.
