Custom Search - No initial search term

[jessicahouston]

Hi,
I just bought Twitterdub. When I try to do Custom Search, there is no Initial Search Term box. I am getting this error. How can I fix it?

[martin@rootjazz]

the search term input box is in the underlying form where you entered realdonaldtrump

The error you are getting is because you are performing a HASHTAG search that returns TWEETS, you cannot FOLLOW a tweet, so you need the extra step of CREATOR OF TWEET.

As the follow action must work with profiles, so your custom search must end with a profile.

Each step will show you bottom left what is it's input / output.

I am trying to follow all people who reply to a tweet. How can I do this?

follow tab
custom search:
search input: tweet url
Search Steps:
REPLIERS

when you single click repliers you will see (bottom left) it takes TWEET as input (your search input as it is first step) and outputs PROFILE which is what you want for follow

Sorry but I dont see the REPLIERS in the OPTION (search steps). Where do you find it?

[jessicahouston]

You mean like this right because I dont see the REPLIERS option on its own.

No

No tweet interactions step, as tweet interactions means : likers / repliers / retweets


Also, your first step is to pull the TWEET REPLIES from the specific tweet.


What you would want is

Code: Select all

REPLIES
CREATOR OF MEDIA

My apologies, I Though there was a replies step, but there isn't.


*IF* if you did want repliers / likers / retweets

then you could just set

Code: Select all

TWEET INTERACTIONS

as the only step
