    step2

    Step 3: Search for the Particular LinkedIn Automation

    • Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu.
    • Use the search bar to find LinkedIn Company Scraper automation.

    Step 4: Select Your Input Source

    Define the input source to specify LinkedIn company profiles for the LinkedIn Company Scraper automation. TexAu provides multiple options to suit the needs of founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers. Here's how to configure each:

    Manually Enter a Single Input

    This option allows you to scrape details from a specific LinkedIn company profile. Follow these steps:

    • Company Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn company profile URL of the organization you want to scrape data from.
    • After entering the profile URL, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

    Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

    This option is ideal for scraping data from multiple LinkedIn company profiles efficiently. Follow these steps:

    • Click select Google account to choose your Google account or click add new Google Sheet account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
    • Click accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
    • Click open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn company profile URLs.
    • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn company profile URLs. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.
    • Company Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company profile URLs of the organizations you want to scrape.
    • Configure additional options:
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows you want to process from the sheet.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.

    After configuring the Google Sheet, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

    • Optional Advanced Feature:

    • Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for tasks that require recurring updates.

    • Watch Row (Optional)

      Watch Row feature helps you automate data-driven workflows by detecting new Google Sheet entries and executing tasks accordingly.

      Configure Watch Row by choosing an update frequency and defining a time frame.

      Watch Row Schedule

      • None
      • Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
      • One-Time Execution
      • Daily Execution
      • Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Monday and Thursday)
      • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 6th and 20th)
      • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., June 14)

      By default, Watch Row scans every 15 minutes and executes for five days unless modified.

      With Watch Row, TexAu eliminates manual execution and keeps workflows responsive to new data.

    Process a CSV File

    This option allows you to process LinkedIn company profile URLs from a static file. Follow these steps:

    • Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn company profile URLs.
    • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
    • Company Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company profile URLs of the organizations you want to scrape.
    • Configure additional options:
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify the number of rows to process from the CSV file.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
    • After uploading the CSV file and configuring the options, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

    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 profile data extraction for targeted or bulk processing.

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    Set a schedule to automate the data extraction process at specific intervals. Click Schedule and choose from the following options:

    • None (Run manually).
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours).
    • Once, Every Day, or on Specific Days/Months/Dates.
      Scheduling ensures regular updates of company data for ongoing projects.

    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)

    Decide how the extracted data will be saved and managed. Configure the following:

    1. Export Options: Select Google Sheets or CSV file for data export.
    2. Output Management:
      • Append: Add data to an existing file.
      • Split: Create a new file for each run.
      • Overwrite: Replace previous data with new results.
    3. Deduplicate: Enable to automatically remove duplicate entries from the output.
      Tip: Use Google Sheets for real-time updates and easier collaboration.
    step6

    Step 8: Access the Data in the Data Store
