Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable LinkedIn data extraction, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Add Account and choose LinkedIn. TexAu offers two connection methods:

• Share Via Magic Link: Click Share Via Magic Link, copy the URL, and paste it into your browser to access the Connect New Account page. Install the extension to complete account integration.
• Add Account: Uses TexAu’s browser extension for quick connection.

Step 3: Choose Cloud or Desktop Automation

Select your preferred execution mode for the automation:

• Cloud: Automate tasks on TexAu’s servers using built-in proxies. Add a custom proxy anytime via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
• Desktop: Run the automation on your local device using your IP address to simulate manual posting.
  Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

Define the input source to specify LinkedIn profiles for the LinkedIn Profile Activity 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 export activity from a specific LinkedIn profile. Simply enter the LinkedIn profile URL into the input field to process one profile at a time. This is ideal for targeted data export.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for exporting activity from multiple LinkedIn profiles efficiently. Follow these steps to use Google Sheets:

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.

CSV File

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 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.
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)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 1)
  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.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Activity Export automation and click See Data to view or download the extracted activity data.\
