    Step 3: Search for the Particular LinkedIn Automation

    • Navigate to the Automation Store on TexAu.
    • Use the search bar to find LinkedIn Received Connection Extractor automation.

    Step 4: Select Your Input Source

    TexAu's LinkedIn Received Connection Extractor is a simple and efficient tool to collect data on connection requests you've received on LinkedIn. Designed for professionals, recruiters, and marketers, it helps streamline relationship management on the platform.

    Single Input

    This option allows you to extract received connections for a specific LinkedIn account.

    Account: Choose the LinkedIn account from which the connections will be extracted.
    Click To Find Emails (Optional): Enable this option to find email addresses associated with the connections. Note that enabling this will deduct credits from your account.

    Google Sheets

    Use this option for extracting multiple connections using a Google spreadsheet.

    Select Google Account:
    Link your Google account or choose an existing one. You can also add a new account if required.

    Select Your Spreadsheet:
    Click on Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet. Choose the specific spreadsheet and sheet where the connection data is stored.

    Processing Options:

    • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process.
    • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define how many rows to skip before processing.

    Additional Input Options:
    Click To Find Emails (Optional): Enable this option to retrieve emails along with connections. Be mindful that it will deduct credits.

    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 is for static LinkedIn connection lists.

    Upload the File:
    Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing LinkedIn profile details. Ensure the data includes profile URLs or other required identifiers.

    Adjust Processing Settings:

    • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process.
    • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Skip a certain number of rows from the start of the file.
    step3

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    Use TexAu’s scheduling feature if you want to run the automation at specific times for regular extraction of incoming requests. Click Schedule to set the start date and time or configure a Recurrence Frequency for ongoing tracking:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or 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 1st and 15th)
    • On Specific Dates (e.g., January 10)

    Scheduling is helpful if you want to regularly monitor incoming requests over time, ensuring no new invitation goes unaddressed.

    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.

    step5

    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
