    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.

      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 helps automate workflows by detecting new Google Sheet entries and running workflows without manual action.

        Define Watch Row settings by selecting an update frequency and an execution timeframe.

        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., 8th and 23rd)
        • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., May 14)

        By default, Watch Row scans every 15 minutes and runs for five days unless changed.

        With Watch Row, workflows stay dynamic and data-driven.

    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.
    step3

    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.

    • 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.
