This LinkedIn automation helps you find the ID assigned to a LinkedIn company. To use it, simply enter the URLs of the companies that you’re interested in, and TexAu will extract for you each company’s ID and deliver them in a spreadsheet.

LinkedIn Company ID finder use-cases

LinkedIn company IDs are useful for some use-cases that only the most hardcore geeks of automation will encounter.

When extracting LinkedIn searches, they are cases when you need to have the URL of a company rather than it’s name to forge a URL. For instance:

https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?currentCompany=["1441',"1035","1586"]

In the case above, “1441′, “1035”, and “1586”, are the company IDs of Microstoft, Amazon, and Google.

Pro-tip: If you want to find the IDs, but also all the info available on a LinkedIn company page, use the LinkedIn Company Scraper.

FAQ

How do I add a new profile?

To connect your LinkedIn profile and perform this automation, you must:

Why would I use Google Sheets?

When you want to export multiple targets without having to change the #2 field every time, you can use a Google spreadsheet URL instead.

To do this, simply put every target URLs you want to target in the first column of the sheet like so:

Then make your Google sheet public. Without it, TexAu won’t be able to access it.

How to schedule my automation to launch multiples times?

Automation is not always welcomed. To avoid being suspended, prefer making many small launches over one big launch.

How to download your results?

After you launch your automation, you’ll see TexAu performing its job in the log section. It will look something like that:

Once the launch is over, click “Download CSV” to download your data to a .CSV spreadsheet.

Download your results by clicking “Download CSV”.
