Sales Navigator Lead Scraper

The Sales Navigator Lead Scraper by TexAu is a powerful automation tool designed for founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers. It streamlines lead generation by extracting targeted prospect data from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. This guide walks you through setting up the automation, including input source options, scheduling, and exporting data.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and enter the Sales Navigator Lead Scraper in the search bar to locate the tool.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To extract leads, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Add Account and follow these steps:

1. Use the Magic Link: Enter your email, and TexAu will send a secure login link. This avoids manual cookie handling, providing a hassle-free connection.
2. Once connected, ensure your LinkedIn account is authorized for use with TexAu.

Tip: Magic Link is a quick and secure way to connect your account without dealing with technical steps.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

TexAu offers several input options for scraping LinkedIn Sales Navigator data. Choose based on your needs:

1. Manually Enter a Single Search Query: If you want to scrape data from one Sales Navigator search, input the search URL directly into the provided field.
2. Google Sheets: Ideal for bulk tasks. Create a Google Sheet containing multiple Sales Navigator search URLs (one per row). Share the link and provide access to TexAu.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing search URLs to process multiple leads efficiently.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for team collaboration on lead generation projects.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

TexAu allows you to run automations at specific times for consistent data updates. To configure scheduling, click Schedule and select one of these options:

• None: Run the automation manually when needed.
• At Regular Intervals: Set a recurring schedule (e.g., every 6 hours or daily).
• Once: Run the automation at a specific date and time.
• Every Day: Choose this to execute the automation daily.
• On Specific Days of the Week: For example, every Monday and Thursday.
• On Specific Days of the Month: Specify dates like the 1st and 15th.
• On Specific Dates: Choose particular dates, such as January 15.

Tip: Scheduling automations ensures your lead database stays updated without manual intervention.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

LinkedIn activity must appear organic to avoid restrictions. Configure an Iteration Delay to space out actions:

1. Set a Minimum Delay (e.g., 30 seconds).
2. Set a Maximum Delay (e.g., 90 seconds).

TexAu will randomize intervals between actions within this range, ensuring natural behavior.

Tip: Use larger delays for higher-volume scraping tasks to avoid detection by LinkedIn.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Define how the extracted lead data will be saved. TexAu offers three output management options:

1. Append (Default): Adds new records to the existing file for continuous updates.
2. Split: Creates a new file for each run, useful for keeping sessions separate.
3. Overwrite: Replaces existing data with the latest extracted information.

Export formats include:

• Google Sheets: Link your Google account to save data directly to Google Drive.
• CSV File: Download data as a CSV file for local use.

Tip: Use Append mode to maintain a cumulative lead database for ongoing campaigns.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are complete, click Run to execute the automation. Choose the mode based on your preferences:

• Cloud Mode: Run the automation on TexAu’s servers for hands-free processing.
• Desktop Mode: Run the automation locally on your computer to save cloud runtime costs or use your IP address.

Tip: Use Desktop mode if your task requires personal IP settings for LinkedIn activity.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, access your scraped leads from the Data Store:

1. Go to the Data Store section.
2. Locate Sales Navigator Lead Scraper in the list.
3. Click See Data to view or download the results.

The Sales Navigator Lead Scraper automation simplifies LinkedIn lead generation with flexible input sources, customizable schedules, and seamless Google Sheets or CSV exports. Whether you're a founder, marketer, or sales professional, this tool saves time and ensures high-quality prospecting for your outreach efforts.
