This tool is ideal for sales professionals, recruiters, and marketers who need organized, actionable profile data. Follow this guide to set up the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for streamlined analysis and 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 use the search bar to locate LinkedIn Universal Profile Converter.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

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

• 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 using TexAu’s built-in browser extension, making setup quick and straightforward.

Tip: Share via Magic Link provides a quick, secure connection to LinkedIn without requiring 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 convert LinkedIn or Sales Navigator profiles into usable formats, catering to the needs of professionals seeking efficient solutions.

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to convert a single LinkedIn profile. Follow these steps:

• Profile URL or ID: Enter the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator Profile URL or ID directly into the input field. This is mandatory for processing one profile at a time.

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 LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn or Sales Navigator profile 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 to process from the sheet.
  Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
  Select Header: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn profile URLs or IDs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
• Loop Mode (Optional): Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed. This feature is useful for recurring or periodic updates.

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

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to convert 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 profile URLs or IDs from your computer.
  TexAu will display the file name and preview its content.
• 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 at the beginning of the file.
  Select Header: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn profile URLs or IDs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To run the automation at a specific time, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time or select a Recurrence Frequency for automated, repeated conversions:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every 12 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 25th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 10)

Regular scheduling can be helpful if you’re consistently gathering LinkedIn profile data for analysis or tracking.

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.

• 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.
