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:

• 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: 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: 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

TexAu provides multiple options to view LinkedIn profiles efficiently, catering to the needs of founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers. This automation enables targeted profile viewing to improve visibility and networking opportunities.

Manually Enter a Single Input

1. Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn profile URL you want to view.
2. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for viewing 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 (you can add multiple Google 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. Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn profile URLs you want to view.
7. Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

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 Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
4. Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn profile URLs you want to view.
5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Step 5: 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:

• None
• 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 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.

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

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

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.
