LinkedIn Address Book Export

The LinkedIn Address Book Export automation helps you extract valuable data from your LinkedIn connections, including names, job titles, companies, and more. This tool is perfect for founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers who need to maintain an organized and updated contact list. With TexAu, you can export data to Google Sheets or CSV, automate recurring tasks, and run the automation on the cloud or desktop for greater flexibility.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store, search for LinkedIn Address Book Export, and click the automation to open its configuration page.

​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To extract data from your LinkedIn address book, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two connection options:

• Magic Link: A secure link sent to your email for seamless login without needing to manage cookies manually.
• Add Account: Connect directly through TexAu’s browser extension for a quick and straightforward setup.

Tip: Magic Link is a secure and fast way to connect your LinkedIn account.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define the input source for the LinkedIn Address Book Export automation:

• Full Address Book Export: Export all your LinkedIn connections into one comprehensive list.
• Google Sheet or CSV Input: Use a Google Sheet or CSV file containing specific LinkedIn Profile URLs for targeted exports. Paste the Google Sheet link or upload the file directly into TexAu.

This flexibility ensures that you can either focus on specific contacts or export your entire network.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you want the automation to run at specific times, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or choose a Recurrence Frequency:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours or every day)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., February 10)

Scheduling ensures that your contact database remains up-to-date without requiring manual intervention.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural browsing behavior, configure the Iteration Delay to space out the extraction actions. Adjust the Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay fields to add variability between each task.

This step helps you comply with LinkedIn’s activity guidelines while ensuring smooth operation.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, choose how you want to save and organize the extracted data:

• Export Options: Select either Google Sheets or CSV file as your output format. If using Google Sheets, link your Google account for direct export to Google Drive.
• Output Management:
  • Append (Default): Add new data to the end of the existing file.
  • Split: Generate a new file for every automation run.
  • Overwrite: Replace old data with the most recent export.
• Duplicate Management: Use Deduplicate to remove duplicate entries and ensure clean data.

Tip: Google Sheets is ideal for real-time collaboration and sharing, while CSV files are best for offline access and analysis.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose between the following options:

• Cloud: Runs on TexAu’s servers, allowing hands-free operation.
• Desktop: Runs locally on your device using your IP address for added control and cost savings.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and provides greater control over task execution.

​

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu. Locate the LinkedIn Address Book Export automation and click See Data to view or download the extracted data.

The exported data includes details like names, job titles, and companies, ready for integration into your CRM or use in analysis.

This tool helps professionals build and maintain an organized and up-to-date contact database efficiently.
