Sales Navigator Message Thread Scraper

The Sales Navigator Message Thread Scraper helps founders, marketers, and sales professionals extract complete conversation threads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. This TexAu automation enables exporting conversation data to Google Sheets or CSV for easy tracking and management. Follow these steps to configure and run the automation effectively.

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 Sales Navigator Message Thread Scraper in the search bar to locate the tool.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

Connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu to access and scrape Sales Navigator message threads. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two secure connection options:

• Magic Link: A secure link is sent to your email for a seamless connection without managing cookies.
• Manual Cookie Upload: Copy and paste your LinkedIn cookies manually for direct access.

Tip: Use Magic Link for a faster, hassle-free connection.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Choose the input source to specify whose message threads to scrape. TexAu offers the following input options:

1. Single Input: Manually enter a specific LinkedIn profile URL to scrape its message threads.
2. Google Sheets: Add a list of LinkedIn profile URLs in a Google Sheet, then provide its public link or link your Google account to grant TexAu access.
3. CSV File: Upload a CSV file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.

Tip: Use Google Sheets or CSV for bulk scraping multiple threads efficiently.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Configure the automation schedule to scrape messages at specific times. Click Schedule and choose one of the following options:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 12 hours or daily)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Fridays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., December 31)

Tip: Scheduling helps automate data updates regularly for large-scale campaigns.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate human-like behavior and avoid account restrictions, set an Iteration Delay to control the time interval between each scraping action. Configure both:

• Minimum Delay: The shortest interval between actions.
• Maximum Delay: The longest interval between actions.

Tip: A randomized delay improves safety while running the automation.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Customize how the scraped message data will be saved:

1. Google Sheets: Export data directly to Google Sheets for easy collaboration.
2. CSV File: Save data locally as a CSV file for offline access.
3. Output Management:
   • Append: Adds new data to the end of the existing file.
   • Split: Creates a new file for each run.
   • Overwrite: Replaces the previous data with the latest run.
4. Deduplicate: Enable this option to remove duplicate entries automatically.

Tip: Google Sheets is ideal for real-time tracking and collaboration.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose your preferred mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation from TexAu’s servers for hands-free operation.
• Desktop: Runs locally on your device, utilizing your IP address to simulate manual actions.

Tip: Use Desktop mode to save cloud runtime costs.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, access your scraped data:

1. Go to the Data Store section in TexAu.
2. Locate the Sales Navigator Message Thread Scraper entry.
3. Click See Data to view or download the exported message threads.

The Sales Navigator Message Thread Scraper simplifies the extraction of conversation threads for deeper insights and streamlined communication. With features like scheduling, iteration delay, and Google Sheets export, this tool is invaluable for sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers looking to optimize their LinkedIn outreach strategies.
