    Step 2: Choose Cloud or Desktop Execution

    • Decide how you want to run the automation:

      • Message (Optional): Customize a message to accompany the connection request.

        • Personalize messages with tags such as First Name, Last Name, or Full Name.

      Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

      If you want to send connection requests to multiple LinkedIn profiles, integrating Google Sheets is a highly efficient choice. Follow these steps:

      1. Connect Your Google Account
        • Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click Add New Google Sheet Account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
      2. Select the Spreadsheet
        • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
        • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
      3. Adjust Processing Options
        • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows to scrape from the sheet.
        • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
      4. Provide Input Details

      5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation if no advanced settings are needed.
    • 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 automates workflow execution when new rows appear in Google Sheets. It ensures updates are processed without the need for manual execution.

    Customize Watch Row by selecting a scan frequency and setting an execution time frame.

    Watch Row Schedule

    • None
    • Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
    • One-Time Execution
    • Daily Execution
    • Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Wednesday and Saturday)
    • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 5th and 25th)
    • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., May 22)

    By default, TexAu checks for new rows every 15 minutes and runs for five days unless changed.

    With Watch Row, you can automate and optimize workflow execution based on real-time data.

    Process a CSV File

    1. For those who prefer working with a static file, TexAu supports CSV uploads. Here’s how to use this option:

      1. Upload the File
        • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
        • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and provide a content preview.
      2. Configure Processing Settings
        • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify the number of rows to scrape from the CSV file.
        • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
      3. Provide Input Details
        • Profile URL: Specify LinkedIn profile URLs in the uploaded CSV file.
        • Message (Optional): Customize a message to accompany the connection requests.
          • Personalize messages with tags such as First Name, Last Name, or Full Name.
          • Alternatively, click Insert AI Template to use predefined LinkedIn AI templates such as LinkedIn AI Message or Sales Navigator AI InMail.
      4. Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation if advanced configurations like scheduling are not required.

      Optional: Advanced Feature - Loop Mode

      For tasks that require regular updates, enable Loop Mode. This feature reprocesses the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed, making it ideal for recurring tasks.

    Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists of LinkedIn profiles, and CSV files for static data that doesn’t change often.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Display the CSV upload feature, file preview, and options to configure rows to process or skip.

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    Use TexAu’s scheduling feature to run the automation at specific times. Click Schedule to set up the frequency:

    • None: Run the automation immediately.
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours or daily).
    • Once
    • Every Day
    • On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Friday).
    • On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th).

    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. The weekly limit however is 100.

    • 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.

    Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

    Choose how to save and manage the extracted company insights. TexAu offers the following options:

    • 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, ideal for tracking changes over time.
    • Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows for clean, organized data.

    Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Output Mode screen, highlighting Append, Split, Overwrite, and Deduplicate options.
