This tool is ideal for sales teams, marketers, and researchers who need organized, actionable company data from LinkedIn. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for streamlined data handling and sharing.

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 type LinkedIn Universal Company Converter in the search bar to locate this tool quickly.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access company profiles on LinkedIn, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure options for connection:

• 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 a smooth setup process.

Tip: Using Share via Magic Link provides a fast, secure way to log in without cookie management.

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 convert LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company profiles into usable formats, catering to the needs of sales professionals, marketers, and recruiters.

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to convert a specific LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company profile. Follow these steps:

• Company URL/ID: Enter the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URL or ID directly into the input field. This is mandatory to process a single company.

Once you’ve entered the details, click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is ideal for converting multiple company profiles efficiently. Follow these steps:

• 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.
• Select Your Spreadsheet
  Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing company URLs or IDs.
  Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where the data is stored.
• Adjust Processing Options
  Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to process from the sheet.
  Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
• Provide Input Details
  Company URL/ID: Specify the column containing LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URLs or IDs.
• Optional Advanced Feature:
  Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring data updates.

Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the process.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to convert company profiles using a static CSV file. Follow these steps:

• Upload the File
  Click Upload CSV File and select the file containing LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URLs or IDs from your computer.
  TexAu will display the file name and preview its content for verification.
• Adjust Processing Settings
  Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to process from the file.
  Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if needed.
• Provide Input Details
  Company URL/ID: Ensure the correct column contains LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URLs or IDs.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s scheduling feature if you want the automation to run at specific times or intervals. Click Schedule to set the date and time or configure a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the automation:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every 12 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 10th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., February 15)

Scheduling is useful if you’re frequently collecting company data and want it updated regularly for real-time insights.

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

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted company data. Locate the LinkedIn Universal Company Converter automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
