    • Decide how you want to run the automation:
      • Cloud Mode: Automates tasks on TexAu’s servers with built-in proxies. You can add custom proxies via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.

    Step 3: Search for the Particular LinkedIn Automation

    • Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu.
    • Use the search bar to find LinkedIn People Search Export automation.

    Step 4: Select Your Input Source

    Define the input source to specify LinkedIn profiles for the LinkedIn People Search Export 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

    Use this option to process a specific LinkedIn search. Simply enter the LinkedIn search URL or keyword into the input field. This is ideal for targeted data collection when dealing with one input at a time.

    Google Sheets

    This option is ideal for processing multiple LinkedIn search URLs efficiently. Follow these steps to use Google Sheets:

    • 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 search URLs or keywords. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.

    • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn search URLs or keywords. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.

    • 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.
      • People Search: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn search URLs or keywords.
      • Extract Limit (Optional): Set the maximum number of profiles to extract per search URL (up to 1,000).
    • 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.
    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation if no advanced settings are needed.

      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 enables automated Google Sheet-based workflows by detecting new data entries and triggering workflows instantly.

      Define Watch Row settings by selecting a frequency and setting an execution timeframe.

      Watch Row Schedule

      • None
      • Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
      • One-Time Execution
      • Daily Execution
      • Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Tuesday and Saturday)
      • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 7th and 20th)
      • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., December 8)

      By default, Watch Row runs every 15 minutes and continues for five days unless modified.

      With Watch Row, TexAu ensures efficient, automated task execution.

    CSV File

    This option allows you to process LinkedIn search URLs or keywords from a static file. Follow these steps:

    • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn search URLs or keywords.
    • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
    • 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.
      • People Search: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn search URLs or keywords.
      • Extract Limit (Optional): Set the maximum number of profiles to extract per search URL (up to 1,000).
    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation if advanced configurations like scheduling are not required.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Input Source selection screen, highlighting the CSV file upload feature, file preview, and the Select Header and Extract Limit options.

    step3

    Tip: LinkedIn currently has a "People Extraction Limit" of up to 1,000 profiles per search URL. If your search yields more than 1,000 results, break down your list into smaller segments by adjusting the filters to ensure each URL captures under 1,000 profiles.

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    To schedule the automation for a specific date and time, click “Schedule” and set the start time—ideal for running TexAu during off-peak hours. Choose a Recurrence Frequency from the following options:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every hour, every 4 hours)
    • Once
    • Every Day
    • Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
    • Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
    • Specific Dates (e.g., November 10).

    Set Start and End Time Offsets (Optional)
    Adjust the start or end time of the automation with an offset.

    step4

    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.

    step5

    Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

    In Output Mode, select your preferred format for exporting data: Google Sheet or CSV file. To automate with Google Sheets, you can export data directly to a connected Google account.

    Output Options

    • Append (Default): New results are added to the end of the previous data, merging into a single CSV file.
    • Split: New results are saved in a separate CSV file after each extraction.
    • Overwrite: New results replace data from previous extractions, useful for monitoring changes on a page.

    Duplicate Management

    • Deduplicate (Default): Automatically removes duplicate rows between each extraction.

    Tip: Using Google Sheets for direct exports simplifies the process of sharing and analyzing the data.\

    Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

    Go to the “Data Store” section in TexAu. Find the automation you ran, click on “See Data” to view the exported LinkedIn profiles and results.
