LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor

The LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor automation helps you track and manage your pending LinkedIn connection requests by extracting detailed information on all invitations you’ve sent that haven’t been accepted. This tool is ideal for sales professionals, recruiters, and network managers aiming to monitor connection outreach and follow-up on unaccepted invitations. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for easy tracking.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Go to the Automation Store and enter LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor in the search bar to quickly locate this tool.

​

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to extract data from your LinkedIn account, you’ll need to connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two connection methods:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email, allowing you to connect without manually entering cookies.
• Add Account: Connects directly using TexAu’s built-in browser extension, providing a quick and easy setup.

Tip: Magic Link is a secure, convenient way to log in without handling cookies manually.

​

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

With LinkedIn connected, set up the input source to specify the criteria for extracting sent connection requests. You can configure the extractor to retrieve information on all pending invitations or target specific profiles.

1. Automatic Extraction of All Pending Requests: This option allows TexAu to automatically retrieve details of all pending connection requests without any additional setup. Ideal if you want a full record of all unaccepted invitations in one run.
2. Google Sheet or CSV for Targeted Extraction: To target specific sent requests, use a Google Sheet or CSV file containing LinkedIn Profile URLs of the people to whom you sent connection requests. Paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu, which will use each URL to search for pending invitations.
3. Filtering Options: To customize further, you can filter requests based on Age of Connection Request (e.g., requests sent more than 30 days ago). This filter helps you focus on older requests, making it easier to follow up on connections that have been pending for a longer time.

​

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s scheduling feature to run the automation at specific times if you want to perform regular extractions. Click Schedule and set the date and time for the automation, or choose a Recurrence Frequency to repeat it automatically:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every week or month)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 5)

Regular scheduling can be helpful for monitoring connection outreach efforts over time, enabling timely follow-ups.

​

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural browsing behavior, set an Iteration Delay to control the time interval between each data extraction. Configure both Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay to introduce variability, helping avoid LinkedIn rate limits. Adjust this delay in seconds, minutes, hours, or days based on your preferences.

​

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you’d like to save and manage the extracted sent request data. Export to Google Sheets or CSV file for streamlined tracking and reporting.

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file for data export. If you select 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 previous data, creating an ongoing list of pending requests.
   • Split: Each run generates a new file, useful for separating data by each extraction session.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest extraction, ideal for tracking only current, unaccepted invitations.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to remove duplicate entries, ensuring your data remains clean and organized.

Tip: Google Sheets export is perfect for collaboration, allowing team members to view and act on pending requests in real-time.

​

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. TexAu allows you to choose between Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers, perfect for seamless operation.
• Desktop: Run locally on your device if you prefer using your IP, which may be helpful for simulating manual actions.

Tip: Running the automation on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and offers greater control over the task.

​

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

Once the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted sent request data. Locate the LinkedIn Sent Request Extractor automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
