    Step 4: Select Your Input Source

    TexAu provides multiple options for scraping data from LinkedIn public profiles, designed for marketers, recruiters, and growth hackers to streamline profile data extraction.

    Manually Enter a Single Input

    Use this option to scrape details from a specific LinkedIn public profile. Follow these steps:

    • LinkedIn Public Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn public profile URL directly into the input field. This is mandatory to process a single profile.
    • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to scrape from the profile data.
    • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip for customized data extraction.

    Once you’ve entered the required details, click Run to start the automation.

    Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

    This option is ideal for extracting data from multiple LinkedIn public profiles efficiently. Follow these steps:

    1. Connect Your Google Account
      • Click Select Google Account to choose your account.
      • If not connected, click Add New Google Sheet Account to link another account.
    2. Select Your Spreadsheet
      • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn public profile URLs.
      • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where the URLs are stored.
    3. Adjust Processing Options
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to scrape from the sheet.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
    4. Provide Input Details
      • LinkedIn Public Profile URL: Specify the column containing LinkedIn public profile URLs.

    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)
      • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., December 9)

      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.

    Process a CSV File

    This option allows you to scrape data from LinkedIn public profiles using a static CSV file. Follow these steps:

    1. Upload the File
      • Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing LinkedIn public profile URLs from your computer.
      • TexAu will display the file name and preview its content for verification.
    2. Adjust Processing Settings
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to scrape from the file.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if needed.
    3. Provide Input Details
      • LinkedIn Public Profile URL: Ensure the correct column contains LinkedIn public profile URLs.

    Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated profile lists, and CSV files for static data that doesn’t change often.

    step3

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    If you’d like TexAu to run the automation at specific times, use the scheduling feature. Click Schedule to set the date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the automation:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 6 hours or every day)
    • Once
    • Every Day
    • On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Friday)
    • On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
    • On Specific Dates (e.g., February 10)

    Scheduling is helpful if you need frequent data updates on specific profiles, allowing you to keep your records current.

    step4

    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
