    1. Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click Add New Google Sheet Account to connect multiple accounts.
    2. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
    3. Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.
    4. Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.
    5. 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.
    6. Select Header: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn profile URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
    7. 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 detects new rows in Google Sheets and triggers workflows automatically, reducing manual workload.

      Configure Watch Row by selecting an execution interval and setting an end date.

      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 Friday)
      • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 14th and 29th)

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

      With Watch Row, TexAu ensures workflows stay dynamic and automated.

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

    1. Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
    2. Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
    3. Configure additional options:

      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
    4. Select Header: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn profile URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
    5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation if advanced configurations like scheduling are not required.

    Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists of LinkedIn profiles, 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, and the Select Header option.

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    If you need to extract activity data regularly, configure scheduling settings. Click Schedule to set a start date and time or a Recurrence Frequency:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 6 hours)
    • Once
    • Every Day
    • On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Fridays)

      Tip: Scheduling ensures data collection remains consistent without manual intervention.

    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 the extracted alumni data. 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.

    Tip: Google Sheets export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time, particularly useful for alumni network management and analysis.
