Twitter Auto Follow

Tutorial

  1. Setup summary

    Here's a tutorial to help you set up the Twitter Auto Follow Phantom:

  2. Connect to Twitter using PhantomBuster's browser extension

    This automation will act on your behalf on Twitter. The safest and most efficient way for the Phantom to connect to your account is by using your session cookie, which you can retrieve using PhantomBuster's browser extension. It's a simple 2-click installation:

    If you're operating from another browser, you can find your cookie manually.

    Take note: Every time you log into Twitter, a new cookie is created for that "session," so you must be logged in (and stay logged in) on your browser to provide a working cookie.

  3. Give URLs of the Twitter profiles you're interested in

    You have two options:

    1. Process a single profile
    Copy the Twitter profile URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

    2. Process multiple profiles
    Create a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. Copy the Twitter profile URLs and paste them into your spreadsheet - one URL per row, all in column A.

    Make this spreadsheet public so PhantomBuster can access it.

    Copy the spreadsheet URL and paste it into your Phantom's setup.

  4. Choose to follow or unfollow the profiles

    This Phantom will perform 1 of 3 actions on your behalf:

    • Follow

    • Unfollow

    • Unfollow only if they don't follow you

    If you would like to follow and later unfollow the same profiles, for example, you should duplicate the Phantom and use one for each action, providing the same list of profiles as input.

  5. Specify the number of profiles to process per launch

    Choose how many profiles you want this automation to process each time it runs. This helps you control your usage and stay within platform limits.

  6. How to use the Domain Name Finder

    PhantomBuster’s Domain Name Finder Automation uses public search engines to find a company’s main website domain. This short tutorial walks you through setting inputs, processing options, scheduling, and retrieving results.

    • Matching limitations:

      Returns one main domain (best match) per company. Country & Language settings guide search context but cannot strictly restrict results to specific TLDs (e.g., .fr).

    • Input requirements:

      Google Sheets must be public (anyone with the link); CSV URL input is available on paid plans only. No session cookies are required.

    • Performance & Safety:

      Processes ~14 domains per minute using 1 slot. Search engines may temporarily block shared IPs if requests are too frequent; if stopped, wait ~15 minutes or use a proxy.

    • Free plan limits:

      CSV exports include only the first 10 rows. JSON exports, dynamic CSV download links, and CSV uploads as inputs are unavailable.

    1. Provide the company names:

      Choose an input source (My Lists, manual names, a Google Sheet/CSV URL, or My Phantoms), then optionally set Country & Language to guide the search context.

    For spreadsheet/CSV inputs, the Phantom reads column A by default. To target a different column, specify its header name in the input settings.

    • Configure processing settings:

      Add any domains to ignore, set how many companies to process per launch for spreadsheet/CSV inputs, and optionally rename the results file.

    "Number of companies to process per launch" applies only to spreadsheet/CSV inputs (default 100). Renaming the results file between launches will create a new file and restart processing from scratch.

    • Select launch frequency:

      Run manually, schedule a one-time run, launch repeatedly, trigger it after another Phantom, or use Advanced scheduling for precise timing.

    • Optional: Adjust advanced settings:

      Keep defaults unless you need to fine-tune execution limits, retries, notifications, proxies, webhooks, or file management.

    • Launch and retrieve results:

      Click Launch, then open the Results tab to view found domains and download or export your results.
