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 company names for the LinkedIn Company URL Finder automation. Here's how to configure each:
Manually Enter a Single Input
This option allows you to find the LinkedIn URL for one specific company. Follow these steps:
- Company Name: Enter the company name directly into the input field.
- This is ideal for obtaining precise LinkedIn URLs for targeted companies.
- Click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.
Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input
This option is perfect for finding LinkedIn URLs for multiple companies efficiently. Follow these steps:
- Click open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing the company names.
- Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet1") containing the list of company names.
- Company Name: Choose the column header containing the company names. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
- Configure additional options:
- Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows to process from the sheet.
- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet to ensure proper data management.
- 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 find LinkedIn URLs for multiple companies using a static file. Follow these steps:
- Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing company names.
- Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
- Company Name: Choose the column header containing the company names. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
- 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.
- Click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation if advanced configurations like scheduling are not required.
Loop Mode
Enable loop mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring tasks to find LinkedIn URLs for newly added companies.
Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists of company names 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 Company Name option.
Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
Schedule the automation to run at regular intervals to keep your LinkedIn company URLs 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 1st and 15th)
- 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 the extracted company URLs. TexAu provides the following options:
- Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data in a single CSV file.
- Split: Saves new results in 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 in the Data Store
After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your results. Find the LinkedIn Company URL Finder automation or the name you’ve entered, click See Data, and choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for quick access.
