    To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and gather event details, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection options:

    step2

    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 events for the LinkedIn Event 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 data from a specific LinkedIn event. Follow these steps:

    • Event URL: Enter the LinkedIn Event URL directly into the input field.
    • 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 events efficiently. Follow these steps:

    • Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click on Add New Google Sheet Account to link additional accounts.
    • Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
    • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn Event URLs.
    • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn Event URLs.
    • Configure additional options:
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows you want to scrape from the sheet.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
    • 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 processing newly added events.
    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

    Process a CSV File

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

    • Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn Event URLs.

    • Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.

    • Configure additional options:

      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify the number of rows to scrape from the CSV file.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.
    • Optional Advanced Feature: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the CSV file from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring updates or processing newly added events.

    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

    • Screenshot Suggestion: Show the CSV file upload section with the preview of uploaded data and configuration options.

    step3

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    If you want to capture event data at regular intervals, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the scraping:

    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., daily or weekly)
    • Once
    • Every Day
    • On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
    • On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
    • On Specific Dates (e.g., March 1)

    Scheduling the automation allows you to keep event data current, especially useful for tracking new attendees or updates on recurring events.

    step4

    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.

    step5

    Step 7: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

    In Output Mode, select how you want to save and organize the event data. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV file for easy review, analysis, and sharing.

    1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, allowing for a direct export to Google Drive.
    2. Output Management:
      • Append (Default): Adds each event data extraction to the end of the existing file, creating a cumulative log of events.
      • Split: Each automation run generates a new file, useful for tracking data by session.
      • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest list of events, ideal if you’re only interested in recent information.
    3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, keeping your data organized and clean.

    Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets allows team members to access real-time event data and collaborate on planning and analysis.

    step6

    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 event data. Locate the LinkedIn Event Scraper automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

    step8

    The LinkedIn Event Scraper automation makes it easy to track relevant LinkedIn events, helping marketers, recruiters, and networkers stay informed on event details and attendee information. With scheduling, bulk input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool provides structured event data for efficient engagement and strategic planning.
