What Is Spintax?
Spintax (also called spintext or text spinner) is a helpful feature that can add variations in the comments or replies you automate on social media. In addition, spintax will prevent posting the same message repeatedly, which ultimately can trigger warnings if you are not careful.
While you could achieve the same from a Google Sheet column containing the comments you want to randomly post, spintax offers a convenient way to do it all at once with one single text input.
At the moment, the two automation modules that support this feature in TexAu are:
- LinkedIn Auto Comment automation
- Reply To A Tweet Using Spintax
- ... soon, the same will be made for Instagram toopslij

- Excellent!
- Wonderful!
- Thanks for the share!
- Amazing!
- Fascinating insights!

Ok, but where do I input that in TexAu?
This can replicate the same auto comment feature you could find on tools like Lempod or Podawa but with the advantage in TexAu to be far more selective on the posts you want to interact with.
You could comment on a post from a particular hashtag or keyword from content searches. Additionally, it could be from someone you follow in your network. Instead of liking random posts from people in your pod, you don't necessarily align with. A common issue with many pod tools...
Ok, that's cool, but... how do I type the pipe "" symbol on my keyboard? 😅 🤔
On Mac:
Alt + Shift + L
or
Shift + \
On Windows:
Shift + \ for most QWERTY keyboards
or
Cmd + Shift + < for other keyboard types
