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:

- 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:
- 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).
- 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.
- Provide Input Details

Process a CSV File
This option allows you to follow multiple companies using a static file. Follow these steps:

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:

- 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.
