LinkedIn Auto Post

The LinkedIn Auto Post automation allows founders, companies, marketers, and sales managers to schedule and post content automatically to their LinkedIn feed or groups. With TexAu’s scheduling, iteration delays, and export features, this automation helps you save time and maintain a consistent LinkedIn presence to engage your audience 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 LinkedIn Auto Post in the search bar to locate the automation. This is where you’ll configure the details to automate your LinkedIn content posting.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To post content on LinkedIn, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform and authorize your account using one of these methods:

• Share Via Magic Link: Click Share Via Magic Link, copy the URL, and paste it into your browser to access the Connect New Account page. Install the extension to complete account integration.
• Add Account: Helps you easily sync cookies and other information from your browser to the TexAu platform.

Step 3: Choose Cloud or Desktop Automation

Select your preferred execution mode for the automation:

• Cloud:  Automate tasks on TexAu’s servers using built-in proxies. Add a custom proxy anytime via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
• Desktop: Run the automation on your local device using your IP address to simulate manual posting.
  Tip: Running the automation in Desktop mode saves cloud runtime credits and provides more control over execution.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

Define the input source to specify LinkedIn post content and details for the LinkedIn Auto Post automation. TexAu offers flexible options to streamline your posting process and enhance your LinkedIn presence. Here's how to configure each:

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to create and post content on one specific LinkedIn profile, company page, or group. Here’s how to use it:

• LinkedIn URL: Enter the required LinkedIn URL (e.g., a company or group URL).
• Post Content: Provide the post content in the corresponding fields.
  • Use the rich text editor to format the post content, attach files, or include emojis.
• This option is ideal for targeted or high-priority posts.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is perfect for scheduling and managing multiple LinkedIn posts efficiently. 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 post content, company URLs, or group URLs.
   • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., Sheet1) containing the post content and associated LinkedIn URLs.
3. Provide Input Details
   • Post Content: Choose the column header containing the post content you want to publish. The post content can include text, emojis, and attachments.
   • LinkedIn Company URL or Group URL (Optional): Choose the column headers containing the URLs for the LinkedIn company pages or groups where the posts should be published.
     • Select Allow Multiple Inputs if you need to publish the same content across multiple URLs.
4. Adjust Processing Options
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows to process from the sheet. You can input a specific number in the corresponding field.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet to ensure proper data management.
5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation if no advanced settings are needed.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to manage LinkedIn posts using a static file. Follow these steps:

1. Upload the File
   • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn post content, company URLs, or group URLs.
   • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
2. Provide Input Details
   • Post Content: Choose the column header containing the post content you want to publish. The post content can include text, emojis, and attachments.
   • LinkedIn Company URL or Group URL (Optional): Choose the column headers containing the URLs for the LinkedIn company pages or groups where the posts should be published.

   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
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 re-processes the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed, making it ideal for recurring posts or when new data is added to the sheet.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated post schedules and CSV files for static content or campaigns that don’t change often.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Input Source selection screen, highlighting the CSV file upload feature, file preview, Post Content, and LinkedIn Company URL or Group URL options, with a focus on the Insert AI Template button for enhancing post creation.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to run at specific times and intervals to maintain consistent posting. Select 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., every Monday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., January 10)

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.

Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Choose how to save and manage data about the posted content. TexAu provides 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.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows for clean, organized data.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your results. Find the LinkedIn Auto Post automation or the name you’ve entered, click See Data, then choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for quick access.

The LinkedIn Auto Post automation simplifies managing your LinkedIn content strategy by automating feed and group posts. With scheduling, iteration delays, and export options, it is ideal for founders, marketers, and sales managers looking to save time while maintaining a consistent presence on LinkedIn.
