Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and scrape company details, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two connection methods:

• 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 company profiles for the LinkedIn Company Scraper automation. TexAu provides multiple options to suit the needs of founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers. Here's how to configure each:

Manually Enter a Single Input

This option allows you to scrape details from a specific LinkedIn company profile. Follow these steps:

• Company Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn company profile URL of the organization you want to scrape data from.
• After entering the profile URL, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is ideal for scraping data from multiple LinkedIn company profiles efficiently. Follow these steps:

• Click select Google account to choose your Google account or click add new Google Sheet account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
• Click accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
• Click open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn company profile URLs.
• Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn company profile URLs. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.
• Company Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company profile URLs of the organizations you want to scrape.
• Configure additional options:
  • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows you want to process from the sheet.
  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
• After configuring the Google Sheet, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Process a CSV File

This option allows you to process LinkedIn company profile URLs from a static file. Follow these steps:

• Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn company profile URLs.
• Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
• Company Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company profile URLs of the organizations you want to scrape.
• Configure additional options:
  • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify the number of rows to process from the CSV file.
  • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
• After uploading the CSV file and configuring the options, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

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.

Screenshot Suggestion:

• Show the manual input field for "Company Profile URL" with an example URL.
• Display the Google Sheets selection screen, emphasizing the setup for company profile URLs.
• Include a preview of a CSV upload, highlighting the file name and column for LinkedIn company profile URLs.

This approach ensures efficient LinkedIn company profile data extraction for targeted or bulk processing.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set a schedule to automate the data extraction process at specific intervals. Click Schedule and choose from the following options:

• None (Run manually).
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours).
• Once, Every Day, or on Specific Days/Months/Dates.
  Scheduling ensures regular updates of company data for ongoing projects.

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.

2. Output Management:
   • Append: Add data to an existing file.
   • Split: Create a new file for each run.
   • Overwrite: Replace previous data with new results.
3. Deduplicate: Enable to automatically remove duplicate entries from the output.
   Tip: Use Google Sheets for real-time updates and easier collaboration.

Step 8: Access the Data in the Data Store

Once the automation finishes, go to the Data Store on the TexAu dashboard to view or download the extracted company information. Click See Data to access the results.\
