LinkedIn Company Alumni Insights Extractor

The LinkedIn Company Alumni Insights Extractor is an invaluable tool for identifying alumni from specific companies, enabling businesses to streamline networking, recruitment, and competitor analysis. It automates data extraction, offering seamless scheduling, export options, and flexible run modes for enhanced efficiency. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure and use this automation effectively.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at TexAu Dashboard. Navigate to the Automation Store and search for "LinkedIn Company Alumni Insights Extractor" in the search bar. Click on the automation to begin the setup process.

​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

TexAu requires access to your LinkedIn account to extract alumni data. Follow these steps to connect:

1. Click Add Account on the LinkedIn account section.
2. Choose a connection method:
   • Magic Link: A secure link is sent to your registered email for a quick connection without manual cookie entry.
   • Add Account: Log in through TexAu’s browser extension for direct access.

Tip: Opt for Magic Link for a faster and more secure connection without the need for cookies.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define the source of the LinkedIn company profiles you want to extract alumni data from. TexAu provides three options:

1. Single Input: Use this if you’re extracting alumni data for one company. Paste the LinkedIn company profile URL directly.
2. Google Sheets: For multiple companies, create a Google Sheet with LinkedIn company profile URLs in separate rows. Share the sheet and paste its URL into TexAu.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing company profile URLs. Ensure the URLs are in one column for compatibility.

Tip: Use Google Sheets or CSV for bulk processing of company profiles, making data extraction efficient.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set up a schedule to run the automation at specific times or recurring intervals. This is useful for keeping your alumni data updated.

1. Click Schedule and select one of the following options:
   • None: Run the automation immediately.
   • At Regular Intervals: Set specific intervals (e.g., every 6 hours or every 2 days).
   • Once: Choose a specific date and time for a one-time run.
   • Every Day: Run daily at the selected time.
   • On Specific Days of the Week: Select days (e.g., every Monday and Thursday).
   • On Specific Days of the Month: Choose specific dates (e.g., 1st and 15th).
   • On Specific Dates: Run the automation on specific calendar dates.

Tip: Regular scheduling ensures your data remains accurate and up-to-date for strategic use.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural behavior and avoid triggering LinkedIn’s activity limits, configure an iteration delay. This introduces random delays between actions, making the automation appear more human-like.

1. Specify the Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay (e.g., 30 seconds to 2 minutes).
2. Select the time unit (seconds, minutes, or hours) to adjust intervals accordingly.

Tip: Randomizing the delay ensures smoother operation without LinkedIn detecting automation behavior.

​

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Decide how to save and manage the extracted data. TexAu provides flexible output management options:

1. Append (Default): Adds new alumni records to the existing data file.
2. Split: Creates a new file for every run, useful for session-based organization.
3. Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results, keeping only the most recent information.

Export formats include:

• Google Sheets: Automatically save data in a Google Sheet by linking your account.
• CSV File: Download the extracted data as a CSV file.

Tip: Google Sheets is ideal for real-time collaboration and sharing among team members.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Run the automation based on your preferred execution mode:

1. Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers for hands-free execution. Ideal for faster processing.
2. Desktop: Run the automation locally using your device’s IP address. This is helpful for tasks requiring local execution or saving cloud runtime costs.

Click Run to start the process.

Tip: Desktop mode provides greater control over IP-related tasks, while Cloud mode is convenient for automation on the go.

​

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation is complete, access your extracted alumni data:

1. Navigate to the Data Store section on your TexAu dashboard.
2. Locate the "LinkedIn Company Alumni Insights Extractor" entry.
3. Click See Data to view, download, or manage the extracted data.
