Twitter List Export

The Twitter List Export automation helps you extract members of any public Twitter list, enabling efficient audience research, lead generation, and marketing strategy planning. With TexAu’s advanced features, automate this process seamlessly, export data to Google Sheets or CSV, and save time. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure and run the automation.

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

1. Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the Automation Store and search for Twitter List Export in the search bar.
3. Click the automation to open its configuration page.

Step 2: Connect to Twitter with TexAu

1. Click Add Account and select Twitter from the list of platforms.
2. Use the OAuth Method to securely connect your Twitter account to TexAu. This method avoids the need for manual cookie entries.
3. Once connected, ensure the correct Twitter account is linked to avoid errors during the automation.

Tip: Verify your Twitter account in the browser before initiating OAuth for a smooth connection.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define the source for the Twitter lists you want to export. TexAu provides three input options:

1. Single Input: Paste the URL of the Twitter list directly into the input field for one-time export.
2. Google Sheets: Use a Google Sheet containing multiple Twitter list URLs in one column. Paste the sheet’s public link or connect your Google account for direct access.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file with Twitter list URLs in one column for batch processing.

Tip: Use Google Sheets or CSV for managing multiple lists efficiently.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to run the automation at specific times or intervals. TexAu offers flexible scheduling options:

1. None: Run the automation immediately.
2. At Regular Intervals: Automate recurring runs every few hours, days, or weeks.
3. Once: Schedule the automation to run at a specific date and time.
4. Every Day: Select a daily time for execution.
5. On Specific Days of the Week: Choose days like Monday or Friday for weekly runs.
6. On Specific Days of the Month: Schedule based on specific dates, e.g., the 1st and 15th.
7. On Specific Dates: Define one-time dates for running the automation.

Tip: Scheduling ensures consistent updates without manual intervention.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

1. To prevent throttling by Twitter, configure Iteration Delay settings to introduce time gaps between actions.
2. Set a Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay to randomize the time between actions.
3. Choose units like seconds, minutes, hours, or days for your delay.

Tip: A delay of 5–10 seconds is recommended for large lists to mimic natural behavior.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Customize how you want the exported data to be saved and managed:

1. Export Options:
   • Google Sheets: Link your Google account to save data directly to Google Sheets.
   • CSV File: Export data as a CSV file for offline access.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Add new results to the existing data file.
   • Split: Create a new file for each automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replace the previous data file with the latest results.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to remove duplicates between extractions.

Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets is ideal for team collaboration and tracking changes in real time.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

1. Click Run to start the automation.
2. Choose between:
   • Cloud Mode: TexAu’s servers handle the task, ideal for hands-free execution.
   • Desktop Mode: Run the automation on your local device using its IP address.

Tip: Use Desktop Mode to save cloud runtime costs and manage tasks locally.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

1. Once the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu.
2. Locate the Twitter List Export task and click See Data to view or download the results.
3. Use filters to search for specific tasks or manage historical data.

Tip: Regularly download and back up data from the Data Store to avoid loss.
