LinkedIn Profile Viewer

The LinkedIn Profile Viewer automation allows you to automatically visit specified LinkedIn profiles, increasing visibility and engagement by alerting users that you viewed their profile. This tool is ideal for sales teams, recruiters, and networkers aiming to build connections and generate interest. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV to track profile visits.

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 locate LinkedIn Profile Viewer quickly.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn and view profiles on your behalf, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two secure connection methods:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for login without handling cookies manually.
• Add Account: Connects directly via TexAu’s built-in browser extension for quick setup.

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

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

With LinkedIn connected, specify the input source to define which profiles you want to visit. You can enter individual LinkedIn Profile URLs or use Google Sheets or CSV for a list of profiles.

1. Single Profile URL: For visiting a specific profile, enter the LinkedIn Profile URL of the target person. This option is useful if you’re focused on one particular contact.
2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Profiles: For bulk profile visits, 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 is ideal for visiting multiple profiles in one run, saving time.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To automate profile visits at specific times, use TexAu’s scheduling feature. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to visit profiles periodically:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
• 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 profile visits helps you maintain consistent engagement with potential connections.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each profile visit. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to introduce variability, simulating natural browsing. Adjust the delay in seconds, minutes, or hours based 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 visited profile data. Exporting data to Google Sheets or CSV file provides easy tracking and analysis.

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

Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets provides real-time access to visit logs, making it easy for team members to track interactions.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose 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 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 data on the profiles visited. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Viewer automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The LinkedIn Profile Viewer automation helps you increase visibility and spark engagement by visiting targeted profiles, making it ideal for sales, recruiting, and networking. With scheduling, bulk input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool organizes your profile visit data for seamless tracking and strategic outreach.
