LinkedIn Auto Connect

The LinkedIn Auto Connect automation helps professionals streamline their networking efforts by automatically sending personalized connection requests on LinkedIn. This tool is perfect for founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers who want to efficiently expand their LinkedIn network with targeted outreach. TexAu enables seamless automation with features like Google Sheets/CSV integration, scheduling, and cloud or desktop execution.

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 Auto Connect, and click on it to open the configuration page.

​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to send connection requests, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two connection methods:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for quick login without handling cookies.
• Add Account: Connects directly through TexAu’s browser extension.

Tip: Magic Link is a secure and time-saving option for seamless integration.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define your target audience by selecting the input source. TexAu supports:

• Single Profile URL: Manually enter the LinkedIn profile URL to send a single connection request.
• Google Sheets: Use a Google Sheet containing LinkedIn Profile URLs. Paste the sheet link into TexAu and authorize access.
• CSV File: Upload a CSV file with LinkedIn Profile URLs listed in rows for bulk connection requests.

This flexibility allows you to connect with specific individuals or a large audience.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s scheduling feature to run the automation at specific times. Click Schedule to set up the frequency:

• None: Run the automation immediately.
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours or daily).
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Friday).
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th).
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 20).

Tip: Scheduling automations ensures your networking efforts are consistent and well-timed.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural behavior and avoid LinkedIn detection, set an Iteration Delay. Adjust the Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to randomize the time intervals between sending connection requests.

Tip: Use realistic delays to align with LinkedIn’s guidelines and maintain account safety.

​

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, decide how you want to manage the results of the automation:

• Google Sheets: Export results directly to Google Sheets for team collaboration.
• CSV File: Save results locally for offline tracking.
• Output Management:
  • Append (Default): Add new results to the existing file.
  • Split: Create a new file for each automation run.
  • Overwrite: Replace old data with the latest results.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries.

Tip: Exporting results to Google Sheets ensures easy access and analysis of your connection requests.

Screenshot Suggestion: Highlight the Output Mode interface, showing Google Sheets, CSV, and Deduplicate options.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Click Run to start the automation. Choose between:

• Cloud: Run the automation on TexAu’s servers for hands-free execution.
• Desktop: Run the automation locally on your device, using your IP address for better control.

Tip: Desktop mode is ideal for tasks requiring specific IP configurations or to save on cloud runtime costs.

​

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation is complete, go to the Data Store in TexAu. Locate the LinkedIn Auto Connect automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The exported file will include LinkedIn Profile URLs, timestamps, and connection status for reporting and tracking.
