LinkedIn Event Scraper

The LinkedIn Event Scraper automation allows you to extract details about LinkedIn events, including event names, hosts, dates, and attendee information. This tool is ideal for marketers, recruiters, and networkers who want to track relevant events and identify networking opportunities. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for organized tracking.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. In the Automation Store, use the search bar to find LinkedIn Event Scraper quickly.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Automation Store screen with "LinkedIn Event Scraper" entered in the search bar.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and gather event details, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection options:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for login without manual cookie handling.
• Add Account: Connects directly using TexAu’s built-in browser extension for fast setup.

Tip: Magic Link provides a secure, simple way to connect LinkedIn without needing to manage cookies manually.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

With LinkedIn connected, define the input source to specify which events you want to scrape. You can enter a single LinkedIn Event URL or upload a list of URLs using Google Sheets or CSV.

1. Single Event URL: For tracking a specific event, enter the LinkedIn Event URL in the input field. This option is useful if you’re focused on gathering details from a particular event.
2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Events: For scraping details from multiple events, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each LinkedIn Event URL in a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu. This setup allows you to gather data from multiple events in one run.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you want to capture event data at regular intervals, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the scraping:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., daily or weekly)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 1)

Scheduling the automation allows you to keep event data current, especially useful for tracking new attendees or updates on recurring events.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each event data extraction. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to introduce variability, simulating natural behavior. Adjust the delay in seconds, minutes, or hours based on your needs.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you want to save and organize the event data. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV file for easy review, analysis, and sharing.

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, allowing for a direct export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each event data extraction to the end of the existing file, creating a cumulative log of events.
   • Split: Each automation run generates a new file, useful for tracking data by session.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest list of events, ideal if you’re only interested in recent information.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, keeping your data organized and clean.

Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets allows team members to access real-time event data and collaborate on planning and analysis.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose whether to run on Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers, ideal for hands-free operation.
• Desktop: Run locally on your device if you prefer using your IP address, which can help simulate manual browsing.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and provides more control over the process.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted event data. Locate the LinkedIn Event Scraper automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The LinkedIn Event Scraper automation makes it easy to track relevant LinkedIn events, helping marketers, recruiters, and networkers stay informed on event details and attendee information. With scheduling, bulk input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool provides structured event data for efficient engagement and strategic planning.
