LinkedIn Profile Posts Export

The LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation allows you to collect recent posts from specified LinkedIn profiles, including post content, engagement metrics, and post dates. This tool is ideal for marketers, social media managers, and sales teams who want to analyze thought leadership, engagement patterns, or content trends. Follow this guide to set up the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for easy analysis and tracking.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and use the search bar to locate LinkedIn Profile Posts Export.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn posts, 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 quick login without handling cookies.
• Add Account: Connects directly via TexAu’s built-in browser extension, making setup straightforward.

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

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

With LinkedIn connected, define the input source to specify which profiles you want to extract posts from. TexAu allows you to enter a single LinkedIn Profile URL or upload a list of profile URLs using Google Sheets or CSV.

1. Single Profile URL: For a one-time post extraction, enter the LinkedIn Profile URL of the profile whose posts you want to export. This is ideal for a quick analysis of a specific profile.
2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Profiles: To collect posts from multiple profiles, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each LinkedIn Profile URL in a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu. This setup allows you to gather posts from several profiles in one automation run, saving time.
3. Filtering Options: Add filters, such as date range or minimum engagement level, to focus on posts that align with your analysis goals.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s scheduling feature if you want to run the automation at specific intervals. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency for repeated extraction:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Friday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 15)

Scheduling is useful if you need frequent updates on profile posts, ensuring your data is always current.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each post extraction. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to add variability, simulating natural usage. Adjust this delay in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, depending on your needs.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing Minimum Delay, Maximum Delay, and time units.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

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

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

Tip: Google Sheets export is ideal for team collaboration, allowing real-time access and updates on post data.

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 may help simulate manual browsing.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and offers more control over task execution.

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 post data. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation allows you to gather and analyze posts from LinkedIn profiles, helping you track engagement and content trends. With scheduling, bulk input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool is valuable for marketers, sales teams, and analysts looking to understand and leverage LinkedIn content.
