Overview
The Twitter Profile URL Finder helps locate Twitter profile URLs efficiently from usernames or lists. Founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers can use this tool for lead generation, outreach, or social media research. Below is the complete guide to setting up and running this automation in TexAu.
Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation
Log in to your TexAu account at TexAu. Once logged in, navigate to the Automation Store from the left-hand menu. Use the search bar at the top of the page to locate the Twitter Profile URL Finder automation.
Step 2: Connect to Twitter with TexAu
To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and retrieve the required data, connect your LinkedIn account:
- Click Add Account and select LinkedIn.
- Choose one of the following connection methods:
- Magic Link: Receive a secure link via email for a seamless login experience without manually entering cookies.
- Add Account: Use TexAu’s built-in browser extension for direct setup and integration.
Tip: Opt for the Magic Link method for a quick and secure connection, avoiding manual cookie management.
Step 3: Select Your Input Source
Specify how you want to provide the usernames for which TexAu will find profile URLs. Choose from the following options:
- Manually Enter Input: Directly enter usernames into the provided input field.
- Google Sheets: Link a Google Sheet with usernames listed in a column. Paste the sheet’s link or authorize Google access.
- CSV File: Upload a CSV file with usernames in one column for batch processing.
Tip: Using Google Sheets or CSV is ideal for bulk tasks, as it minimizes manual input errors.
Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
Schedule the automation to run at specific times. Click Schedule and choose one of these options:
- None: Run immediately.
- At Regular Intervals: Repeat the task (e.g., every 4 hours).
- Once: Execute a single run.
- Every Day: Run daily at a set time.
- On Specific Days of the Week: Select particular weekdays (e.g., Monday and Wednesday).
- On Specific Dates: Schedule the automation for specific calendar dates.
Tip: Use scheduling for recurring tasks, such as maintaining an updated list of Twitter profiles.
Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)
Configure an Iteration Delay to avoid triggering platform restrictions. Add delays between each action by setting minimum and maximum intervals. For example:
- Minimum Delay: 5 seconds
- Maximum Delay: 15 seconds
TexAu will randomize the timing within this range to mimic human behavior.
Tip: Delays are critical when working with large datasets to prevent rate-limiting or account flags.
Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)
Define how you want to save the extracted profile URLs. Choose from:
- Google Sheets: Export data directly to a connected Google Sheet for easy sharing and analysis.
- CSV File: Download a CSV file for offline use.
- Output Management Options:
- Append: Adds data to the end of an existing file.
- Split: Creates a new file for each run.
- Overwrite: Replaces old data with new results.
Tip: Enable Deduplicate to remove duplicate entries automatically, ensuring clean output.
Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop
Click Run to execute the automation. Choose the execution mode:
- Cloud: Run tasks on TexAu’s servers for seamless processing.
- Desktop: Use your local device to save on cloud credits and maintain IP control.
Tip: Use Desktop mode for data-sensitive operations or to avoid cloud usage costs.
Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store
Once the automation completes, access the results by navigating to the Data Store section. Locate the Twitter Profile URL Finder automation, then click See Data to view or download the URLs.
Export the results for integration into your workflows, such as lead generation or social media campaigns.
