Twitter Auto Reply

The Twitter Auto Reply automation allows you to automatically respond to tweets or mentions based on your criteria, streamlining engagement with your audience. This feature is ideal for marketers, sales professionals, and growth hackers who want to maintain a consistent online presence. With options for customization, scheduling, and data export, this tool ensures efficient interaction management on Twitter.

Follow this guide to configure the automation for tailored replies to tweets or mentions, with export options to Google Sheets or CSV for record-keeping.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and enter Twitter Auto Reply in the search bar to locate this tool, which helps you send automated replies to targeted tweets or mentions.

Step 2: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access your Twitter account and send automated replies, connect your Twitter account by clicking Add Account and selecting Twitter. TexAu offers a secure OAuth-based integration:

• Follow the prompts to authorize TexAu to manage replies via your Twitter account.
• Ensure permissions are granted to enable smooth automation.

Tip: OAuth integration is fast and secure, allowing you to link your Twitter account without manual cookie management.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Specify the input source for the tweets or mentions you want to reply to. TexAu offers the following options:

1. Keywords or Hashtags: Manually enter specific keywords or hashtags to target tweets. This is ideal for engaging with trending topics or niche communities.
2. Google Sheets or CSV: Use a prepared list of tweet URLs or mentions stored in a Google Sheet or CSV file. Paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file to TexAu for processing.
3. Twitter Search Query: Enter advanced Twitter search queries (e.g., "from:username keyword") to refine the tweets or mentions to which you’ll reply.

Tip: Using Google Sheets or CSV is ideal for managing larger campaigns or collaborations.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to run at specific times to manage engagement efficiently. Click Schedule and configure the timing:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals: Set a specific interval (e.g., every hour or day).
• Once: Execute the automation at a designated time.
• Every Day: Run daily at the same time.
• On Specific Days of the Week: Schedule specific days (e.g., every Monday).
• On Specific Dates: Choose exact calendar dates (e.g., December 1).

Tip: Scheduling ensures consistent interaction while preventing overactivity during off-hours.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To mimic natural behavior, configure the Iteration Delay to space out each automated reply. Set Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to randomize intervals between replies. The delay can be configured in seconds, minutes, hours, or days.

Tip: Randomized delays reduce the risk of triggering Twitter’s anti-spam measures.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Select how you want to manage the extracted data for tweets or mentions you replied to:

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file for saving the data.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds new entries to the end of the existing file.
   • Split: Creates a new file for each automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replaces old data with the latest results.
3. Deduplicate: Enable this option to automatically remove duplicate entries and keep your data organized.

Tip: Exporting data to Google Sheets ensures easy sharing and collaboration with your team.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Start the automation by clicking Run. Choose between Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Executes the automation from TexAu’s servers for hands-free operation.
• Desktop: Runs the automation locally on your device, using your IP address for more personalized execution.

Tip: Desktop mode is ideal for tasks that require your local network settings, while Cloud mode saves local resources.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu. Locate the Twitter Auto Reply automation and click See Data to view or download the log of tweets or mentions replied to.

Conclusion

The Twitter Auto Reply automation simplifies engagement by automatically replying to targeted tweets or mentions, saving time and effort. With options for scheduling, iteration delays, and data export, this tool is perfect for marketers, founders, and sales managers looking to enhance their Twitter interactions.
