This tool is ideal for founders, marketers, sales managers, and growth hackers who want to expand their professional network and stay updated on company activities.

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 search for LinkedIn Company Auto Follow. Select the automation to open the configuration page.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To follow LinkedIn companies, 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 or Sales Navigator company URLs for the LinkedIn Company Auto Follow automation. Here's how to configure each:

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to follow a single company on LinkedIn. Here’s how to use it:

• LinkedIn Company URL: Enter the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URL into the input field.
• This is ideal for targeted engagement with a specific company.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is perfect for following multiple companies 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 company URLs.
   • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., "Table") containing the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URLs.
3. Provide Input Details
   • LinkedIn Company URL: Choose the column header containing the company URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
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 follow multiple companies using a static file. Follow these steps:

1. Upload the File
   • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn or Sales Navigator company URLs.
   • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.

Optional: Advanced Feature - Loop Mode

For recurring updates or newly added companies, enable Loop Mode. This feature re-processes the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed, making it useful for ongoing automation.

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

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Input Source selection screen, highlighting the CSV file upload feature, file preview, rows to process/skip fields, and the LinkedIn Company URL option.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to run at specific intervals to keep your following list updated. 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: 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.

• 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
