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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. In the Automation Store, search for LinkedIn Mutual Connections Export to locate the tool quickly.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn and retrieve mutual connections, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection 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.

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.

• Extract Limit (Optional): Set the maximum number of mutual connections to extract per LinkedIn profile (up to 1,000).

Once you've entered the details, click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you’d like to run the automation at specific times, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency for ongoing checks:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or weekly)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 1)

Scheduling is useful for monitoring mutual connections regularly, ensuring you stay informed about new shared contacts.

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)

In Output Mode, select how you want to save and organize the data on mutual connections. Exporting to Google Sheets or CSV file provides flexibility in sharing and reviewing your findings.

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output format. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, enabling direct export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each mutual connections check to the end of the existing file, creating a cumulative list.
   • Split: Each run generates a new file, helpful for organizing data by session.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results, ideal if you’re only interested in the most recent mutual connections.
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 updated mutual connection data in real time.

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 mutual connections data. Locate the LinkedIn Mutual Connections Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
