LinkedIn Delete Post

The LinkedIn Delete Post automation enables founders, companies, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers to quickly delete unwanted or outdated posts on LinkedIn. This automation helps manage your LinkedIn presence effectively, ensuring relevant and updated content remains visible. With TexAu, you can automate the process, schedule post deletions, and export data to Google Sheets or CSV for record-keeping.

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 search for LinkedIn Delete Post to find the automation.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To delete LinkedIn posts, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn 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: Use TexAu’s browser extension to sync cookies and browser details with TexAu.

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

Choose how to provide LinkedIn post URLs for the LinkedIn Delete Post automation. Here's how to configure each input method:

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to delete one specific LinkedIn post. Enter the LinkedIn post URL directly into the input field. This is ideal for managing a single post deletion.

Google Sheets

This option is perfect for deleting multiple LinkedIn posts. Follow these steps to use Google Sheets:

1. Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click on Add New Google Sheet Account (you can add multiple Google accounts).
2. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
3. Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn post URLs. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.
4. Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet1") containing the LinkedIn post URLs.
5. Post URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn post URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
6. Configure additional options:
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process from the sheet.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Set how many rows to skip from the beginning of the sheet.
7. Optional Advanced Feature: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring updates or new posts added to the sheet.
8. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Google Sheets setup screen, showing steps to connect a Google account, select a spreadsheet, sheet, and the Post URL column header, alongside the fields for rows to process, rows to skip, and the Loop Mode option.

CSV File

This option allows you to delete LinkedIn posts using a static list of URLs. Follow these steps:

1. Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn post URLs.
2. Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to ensure it's correct.
3. Post URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn post URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to work properly.
4. Configure additional options:
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process from the CSV file.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Set how many rows to skip from the beginning of the file.
5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Tip: Use Google Sheets for frequently updated post lists and CSV files for static or one-time data processing.

Screenshot Suggestion: Highlight the Input Source selection screen with the CSV file upload feature, preview window, rows to process/skip fields, and the Post URL column header option.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Set the automation to run at specific times for convenient and efficient post management. Choose from:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., daily or weekly)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., February 14)

Tip: Align the schedule with your content strategy to manage post deletions seamlessly.

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 your results are saved to keep your records clean and organized:

• Append (Default): Add results to an existing file for consolidated records.
• Split: Save each run’s results in a separate file for better tracking.
• Overwrite: Replace previous data with the latest results.
• Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to avoid duplicate entries and maintain clean data.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, navigate to the Data Store section in TexAu to access your results. Locate the LinkedIn Delete Post automation or the custom name you used during configuration.

• Click See Data to review the results directly within TexAu.
• Choose Download CSV to export the data for offline storage and analysis.
