Step 4: Select Your Input Source

Manually Enter a Single Input

This option is perfect for gathering insights from a specific LinkedIn company profile. Here’s how to use it:

• Input Field: Enter the LinkedIn company profile URL of the organization you want to analyze.
• Once the URL is entered, click Run in the lower-right corner to start the process.

This method is best suited for targeted, one-off data collection.

 Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

If you want to process multiple LinkedIn company profiles, integrating Google Sheets is a highly efficient choice. Follow these steps:

1. Connect Your Google Account
   • Click Select Google Account and choose an existing account.
   • If you haven’t connected your account yet, click Add New Google Sheet Account to link a new one.
2. Select the Spreadsheet
   • Once your Google account is connected, click Open Google Drive to browse and select the spreadsheet containing LinkedIn company profile URLs.
   • Choose the specific sheet where the URLs are stored.
3. Adjust Processing Options
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows of data you want to process.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): If you need to skip initial rows, define the number here.
4. Ensure the Data is Correct
   • Verify that the selected column contains valid LinkedIn company profile URLs.
5. Click Run to initiate the automation.

 Process a CSV File

For those who prefer working with a static file, TexAu supports CSV uploads. Here’s how to use this option:

1. Upload the File
   • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing LinkedIn company profile URLs from your computer.
   • After uploading, TexAu will display the file name and provide a content preview.
2. Configure Processing Settings
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to process.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if needed.
3. Verify the Data
   • Ensure the correct column contains LinkedIn company profile URLs.
4. Click Run to begin the extraction.

Optional: Advanced Feature - Loop Mode

For tasks that require regular updates, enable Loop Mode. This feature reprocesses the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed, making it ideal for ongoing insights collection.

Screenshot Suggestion:

• Show the manual input field for "Company Profile URL" with an example URL.
• Display the Google Sheets selection screen, emphasizing the setup for company profile URLs.
• Include a preview of a CSV upload, highlighting the file name and column for LinkedIn company profile URLs.

This approach ensures efficient LinkedIn company insights extraction, whether for targeted profiles or bulk processing.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To automate data collection at specific intervals, configure the schedule settings. Click Schedule to set a start date and time or select a recurrence frequency:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 12 hours or daily)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 15)

Scheduling ensures you can regularly update insights for ongoing research or reports.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the scheduling settings with recurrence options highlighted.

Step 6: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Configure the minimum and maximum time intervals between actions to introduce randomness.

• Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest allowable interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
• Maximum Delay: Enter the longest allowable interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

Tip: Randomized delays minimize the risk of account flags while maintaining safe automation.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include the Iteration Delay settings, highlighting Minimum and Maximum delay fields.

Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage the extracted company insights. TexAu offers 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, ideal for tracking changes over time.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows for clean, organized data.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Output Mode screen, highlighting Append, Split, Overwrite, and Deduplicate options.

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 Company Insights automation or the name you entered, click See Data, and choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for quick access.

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Data Store screen with the See Data, Download CSV, and Open to Google Sheet options highlighted.

The LinkedIn Company Insights automation streamlines the extraction of key data points from LinkedIn company profiles.
