How to like/retweet specific account?

Post by Divvy »

Hello martin,

Can you give me a little help here?

I have around 40 twitter accounts and I want to use about 25 accounts to give like in all recent tweets from a specific user account.
I also need to use about 30 accounts to retweet all recent tweets from a specific user account.

How can I do that? :)

I tried the Like and Mass Retweet to test and set to repeat all hours, but it seems that only worked at first time.
Can you give me detailed action of what I need to do for each?

Thanks!!

MASS actions are what you need

Select your accounts to use
Enter the PROFILE URL of the account who most recent tweet you want to like
set MAX ITEMS (max likes to give, if you select 0 it will use all accounts, it set less than the number of accounts you have a selection are used


Not sure why you are setting a repeat time, perhaps explain why you are doing this so I understand better

Thank you martin.

I set repeat because I want to give like every time there is a new tweet from a specific account.
I think that my problem in first was to add "1" in Max Actions. Probably I need "0"

Is this action correct for what I need?

Thanks! :)

UPDATE:
Hmm is not working... always appears:

Code: Select all

Attempt Like: 1
Logging in: AccountName AccountPass with proxy: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:80:user:pass
* IGNORE: Processed before: https://twitter.com/AccountNametoGiveLike

ah you want to repeat it. The problem is, when you pass in a profile URL, that is recorded as being processed.

So when you specify unique (you mean unique post) but the program takes it as unique input, which has been processed before.

So what you would need to do is go the search like tab

create a custom action
Scrape recent tweet

specify the input as a profile URL
check unique
set max items
set repeat.

this will search for the most recent tweet each time then check the TWEET for uniqueness

Seems like the reply I made earlier got lost somewhere.

The search you selected recenttweetsof, would return many tweets of that user, is that not a search to return jsut the latest:
latesttweetof

note latestTWEETof
and your selection
recentTWEETSof

the S making it plural.

Even so, it should still work if you:
a) double click the selected search and specify 1 result
b) on the search tab select max items 1

also you have selected fluctuate 30

this means you results would be +- 30, so selecting 1 as maxitems means you have -29 to 31 which would round to: 0 to 31, which you don't want. Set fluct to 0

everything else looks ok

What does the Fluctuate option for Retweets in TwitterDub do?

Post by bitcoin »

also you have selected fluctuate 30

this means you results would be +- 30, so selecting 1 as maxitems means you have -29 to 31 which would round to: 0 to 31, which you don't want. Set fluct to 0
I was trying to find out what Fluctuate would mean in the context of Retweet settings. This explanation still does not make it fully clear to me... A dummies answer would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

your action will retweet 100 tweets if you tell it to.

set fluctuate to 10. This will change the number of tweets to retweet to a number randomly between : 90 - 120 so +-10



Is useful if you are repeating the action every 24 hours so you do not retweet the same number a day.


If that doesn't make sense, just ignore fluctuate you don't need it :) When you do, then it will make sense
