Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu
To automate connection rejections, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform and authorize your account using one of these methods:
- Share Via Magic Link: Click Share Via Magic Link, copy the URL, and paste it into your browser to access the Connect New Account page. Install the extension to complete account integration.

Select your preferred execution mode for the automation:
- Cloud: Automate tasks on TexAu’s servers using built-in proxies. Add a custom proxy anytime via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
- Desktop: Run the automation on your local device using your IP address to simulate manual posting.
Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.
Step 4: Select Your Input Source
Define the input source to specify LinkedIn profile URLs for the LinkedIn Auto Reject Pending Connection automation. Here's how to configure each:
Manually Enter a Single Input
Use this option to reject a pending connection request from a specific LinkedIn profile. Here’s how to use it:
- Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn profile URL into the input field.
- This method is ideal for targeted actions on a single pending connection.
Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input
This option is ideal for managing multiple pending connection requests efficiently. Follow these steps:
- Connect Your Google Account
- Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click Add New Google Sheet Account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
- Select the Spreadsheet
- Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
- Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., Sheet5) containing the LinkedIn profile URLs.
- Provide Input Details
- LinkedIn Profile URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn profile URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
- Adjust Processing Options
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows to process from the sheet. You can input a specific number in the corresponding field.
- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet to ensure proper data management.
- Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation if no advanced settings are needed.
Process a CSV File
This option allows you to handle pending connection requests using a static file. Follow these steps:
- Upload the File
- Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
- Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.

For tasks that require ongoing management, enable Loop Mode. This feature re-processes the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed, making it useful for newly added pending connections.
Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists of LinkedIn profile URLs, and CSV files for static data that doesn’t change often.
Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Input Source selection screen, highlighting the CSV file upload feature, file preview, rows to process/skip fields, and the LinkedIn Profile URL option.
Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
Use TexAu’s scheduling feature to run the rejection process automatically at chosen times. Click Schedule and set the timing and recurrence 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 Tuesday and Friday).
- On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th).
- On Specific Dates (e.g., January 31).
Tip: Scheduling regular cleanups ensures your LinkedIn network stays organized without manual effort.
Step 6: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)
Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.
- Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
- Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).
Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.
Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)
Choose how to save and manage data about rejected connections. TexAu provides the following options:
- Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
- Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
- Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
- Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows for clean, organized data.
Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store
After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your results. Find the LinkedIn Auto Reject Pending Connection automation or the name you’ve entered, click See Data, then choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for quick access.
