Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu
To access LinkedIn group data, connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn and authorize your account using one of these methods:

- 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 Group URLs for the LinkedIn Group Activity Export automation. Here's how to configure each input method:
Manually Enter a Single Input
Use this option to extract activities from one specific LinkedIn group. Enter the LinkedIn group URL directly into the input field. This is ideal for targeting a single group.
Google Sheets
This option is perfect for exporting activities from multiple LinkedIn groups. Follow these steps to use Google Sheets:
- Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or add a new Google Sheet account (you can add multiple accounts).
- Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
- Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn group URLs. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.
- Select Spreadsheet and Sheet to choose the spreadsheet and specific sheet (e.g., "Sheet5") containing the LinkedIn group URLs.
- Group URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn group URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
- 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.
- 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 newly added group URLs.
- Click Run to start the automation by clicking Run in the lower-right corner.
CSV File
This option allows you to export activities using a static list of LinkedIn group URLs. Follow these steps:
- Click Upload CSV File to browse and upload the file containing LinkedIn group URLs.
- Preview and Verify Data to ensure the file content is correct and properly formatted.
- Group URL: Choose the column header containing the LinkedIn group URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.

- Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Set how many rows to skip from the beginning of the file.
- Click Run to start the automation by clicking Run in the lower-right corner.
Tip: Use Google Sheets for frequently updated group lists and CSV files for static or one-time data processing.
Screenshot Suggestion: Highlight the Input Source selection screen, focusing on the CSV file upload feature, file preview, rows to process/skip fields, and the Group URL column header selection.
Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
Automate LinkedIn group data extraction by scheduling this process to run at preferred times. Choose from these scheduling options:
- None
- At Regular Intervals (e.g., daily or weekly)
- Once
- Every Day
- On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Friday)
- On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 10th and 25th)
- On Specific Dates (e.g., December 1)
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.

- Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate entries automatically.
