The Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper allows users to extract and organize data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator inbox conversations efficiently. This tool is ideal for founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers who want to streamline their communication tracking and save time. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure and execute the automation effectively.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at TexAu. Navigate to the Automation Store and enter Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper in the search bar to locate this tool.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to scrape data from your Sales Navigator inbox, connect your LinkedIn account:

1. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn.
2. Use the Magic Link method for a secure and seamless login without managing cookies manually.

Tip: The Magic Link method is fast, secure, and avoids manual cookie input.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Define your input source to specify the conversations you want to scrape. TexAu offers multiple options:

1. Manual Input: Enter the LinkedIn message URLs you wish to scrape.
2. Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with LinkedIn message URLs in individual rows. Paste the sheet URL or connect your Google account to link it.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing message URLs in a column for bulk processing.

Tip: Use Google Sheets or CSV for automating tasks with large data sets.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set a schedule to run the automation at specific times. Click Schedule to configure the start date and time or choose a recurrence frequency:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Monday and Wednesday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., February 10)

Tip: Scheduling ensures that your data remains updated automatically.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

Add an Iteration Delay to mimic natural behavior and avoid detection by LinkedIn. Set minimum and maximum delays to vary the time between each scraping action.

• Specify delay units in seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
• Randomized delays improve account safety during automation.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Customize how you want the scraped inbox data to be saved and managed.

1. Google Sheets or CSV Export: Export scraped data to a linked Google Sheet or download it as a CSV file.
2. Output Management Modes:
   • Append (Default): Adds new data to the end of the existing file.
   • Split: Creates a new file for every automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replaces old data with the latest scraped data.
3. Deduplicate: Automatically remove duplicate entries for cleaner data.

Tip: Use Google Sheets to access and share real-time data with your team.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once you’ve configured the settings, click Run to execute the automation. Select one of the following modes:

• Cloud Mode: Runs the automation from TexAu’s servers for hands-free execution.
• Desktop Mode: Runs locally on your device, simulating manual activity and saving cloud runtime costs.

Tip: Choose Desktop Mode for greater control over execution and to save runtime costs.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, access the scraped data in the Data Store:

1. Navigate to the Data Store section.
2. Locate the Sales Navigator Inbox Scraper automation.
