LinkedIn Connection Checker

The LinkedIn Connection Checker automation helps founders, companies, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers verify if their LinkedIn connection requests have been accepted or are still pending. With TexAu, you can streamline this process and analyze data efficiently using features like desktop app execution, Google Sheets export, scheduling, and flexible configurations.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and enter LinkedIn Connection Checker in the search bar to find the automation.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To check connection statuses, integrate your LinkedIn account with 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: Easily sync cookies and browser details with TexAu using the built-in extension.

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 profile URLs for the LinkedIn Connection Checker automation. Here's how to configure each:

Manually Enter a Single Input

This option allows you to verify the connection status of a specific LinkedIn profile. Follow these steps:

• LinkedIn Profile URL: Enter the LinkedIn profile URL into the input field.
• This is ideal for checking the acceptance or pending status of a single connection request.
• Click run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Use Google Sheets for Bulk Input

This option is perfect for verifying connection requests for multiple LinkedIn 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 profile URLs.
• Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet1") containing the LinkedIn profile URLs.
• LinkedIn Profile URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn profile URLs. 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 verify connection requests for multiple LinkedIn profiles using a static file. Follow these steps:

• Click upload CSV file and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
• Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.
• LinkedIn Profile URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn profile URLs.
• 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 ongoing verification of newly added profiles.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated lists of LinkedIn profile 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 Profile URL option.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Schedule the automation to periodically verify connection statuses and keep your data updated. Select one of these 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: 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)

Decide how to organize and save the connection status data. TexAu provides the following options:

• Append (Default): Adds new results to the existing data in a single CSV file.
• Split: Saves each run’s results in a separate CSV file.
• Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate entries for clean data.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After completion, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu to view your results. Find the LinkedIn Connection Checker automation or the name you’ve assigned, click See Data, and choose either Download CSV to export the data or Open to Google Sheet for analysis.

The LinkedIn Connection Checker automation simplifies tracking the status of your LinkedIn connection requests, helping founders, marketers, and sales managers streamline their outreach efforts. By automating status verification and exporting results to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool ensures efficient data management and time savings. Stay informed and focus on building meaningful professional relationships with TexAu.
