If you are active on Twitter and doing mass mentions is essential to your marketing strategy then Jarvee has the perfect solution to help you with this time-consuming task.

How to start a Mention Campaign?

The first thing you need to do before you start the Twitter Mention tool is to create a campaign for your mentions.

Next thing is creating a Destination List which you will be using for your Mention Campaign.  Simply click Destination List > click Add Destination List button > select the Twitter accounts (walls/profiles) that you want to include as destinations for your Mention Campaign.

To start using the tool, click on TOOLS from the left panel menu, click on a Twitter profile where you want to run the tool > then click Mention from tools column.

The Twitter Mention tool is divided into 3 tabs: Extract Members, Use members and Sent Mentions

Extract Members tab

This is the first tab that you will see when you access the Mention tool.  Generally, the main purpose of this tab is to enable you to scrape users from supported extraction links.  As you will notice from the extraction box, you will see a list of sample valid extraction links.

To start extracting:

1. Start with adding the extraction link in the designated box.
2. Set the scroll time or the number of seconds that Jarvee will scroll the page searching for users.  Note that the more scroll time you use, the more users will be extracted.
3. 3. Click on Extract Users button
4. 4. As soon as you initiate the extraction process, the link is added to the table right below the extraction box.  You can see the progress or the status of the extraction.

You may opt to stop all ongoing extractions by clicking ‘Stop Ongoing Extractions’ button should you decide to cancel the current action.
