Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To access LinkedIn data, connect your LinkedIn account with TexAu. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection options:

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 companies for the LinkedIn Company Search Export 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 extract data from a specific LinkedIn company search. Follow these steps:

• Company Search URL: Enter the LinkedIn company search URL or relevant keywords for the search.
• Extract Limit (Optional): Specify the maximum number of companies to extract per search (up to 1,000).
• After entering the company search URL and setting the extraction limit, click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is ideal for exporting company details from multiple LinkedIn searches 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 search URLs or keywords.
• Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn company search URLs or keywords. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.
• Company Search URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company search URLs or relevant keywords for the search.
• 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.
  • Extract Limit (Optional): Specify the maximum number of companies to extract per search (up to 1,000).
• 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 search URLs or keywords from a static file. Follow these steps:

• Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn company search URLs or keywords.
• Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
• Company Search URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn company search URLs or relevant keywords for the search.
• 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.
  • Extract Limit (Optional): Specify the maximum number of companies to extract per search (up to 1,000).
• 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 fields for "Company Search URL" and "Extract Limit" with example values.
• Display the Google Sheets selection screen, emphasizing the setup for LinkedIn company search URLs and extraction limits.
• Include a preview of a CSV upload, highlighting the file name, company search URLs, and extraction limits.

This process ensures efficient LinkedIn company search data extraction, whether for targeted searches or bulk processing.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you want TexAu to run the automation at specific times, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the date and time for the automation, or select a Recurrence Frequency to run it automatically:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 6 hours or every day)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Fridays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., December 5)

Scheduling the automation is useful if you’re tracking changes in a list of companies over time or regularly gathering new company data.

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)

Select how you want the extracted data to be saved in Output Mode, with options for exporting to Google Sheets or a CSV file. This gives flexibility in data handling for analysis and sharing.

1. Export Options: Choose either Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. If you select Google Sheets, link your Google account to enable direct export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each new dataset to the existing file, helpful for maintaining an ongoing list of companies.
   • Split: Each run creates a separate file, ideal if you want to segment data by each automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest extraction, perfect for tracking only current information.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, keeping your data clean and organized.

Tip: Exporting directly to Google Sheets facilitates collaboration with your team for real-time access and analysis.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted data. Locate your LinkedIn Company Search Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
