    The LinkedIn Online Status Checker automation allows you to monitor the online status of specific LinkedIn profiles, helping you determine when key contacts or prospects are active. This tool is ideal for sales teams, recruiters, and networkers who want to time outreach efforts effectively. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for organized tracking.

      • Cloud Mode: Automates tasks on TexAu’s servers with built-in proxies. You can add custom proxies via Settings > Preferences > Proxies.
      • Desktop Mode: Runs automation on your local device using your IP address.

    Step 4: Select Your Input Source

    Define the input source to specify LinkedIn profiles for the LinkedIn Online Status Checker automation. TexAu provides multiple options tailored to the needs of founders, sales managers, marketers, and growth hackers. Here's how to configure each:

    Manually Enter a Single Input

    Use this option to check the online status of a specific LinkedIn profile. Simply enter the LinkedIn profile URL into the input field.

    • Profile URL: Paste the LinkedIn profile URL in the input field. This is mandatory to run the automation for a single profile.
    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.
    enter-a-single-input

    Google Sheets

    This option is ideal for checking the online status of 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. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.

    • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.

    • Configure additional options:

      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows you want to process from the sheet.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
    • Optional Advanced Feature:

      • Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed. This is useful for recurring data updates.
    • Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

      Watch Row feature ensures real-time workflow automation by detecting new rows in Google Sheets and executing workflows based on changes.

      Customize Watch Row by selecting a frequency and setting a monitoring period.

      Watch Row Schedule

      • None
      • Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
      • One-Time Execution
      • Daily Execution
      • Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Wednesday and Sunday)
      • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 5th and 22nd)
      • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., November 11)

      By default, Watch Row checks every 15 minutes and executes for five days unless modified.

      With Watch Row, TexAu eliminates manual workflow execution.

    CSV File

    This option allows you to check the online status of LinkedIn profiles from 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.
    • 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.
    step3

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    To run the automation at specific times, use TexAu’s scheduling feature. Click Schedule to set the start date and time or configure a Recurrence Frequency for ongoing monitoring:

    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every hour or every 4 hours)
    • 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 10)

    Scheduling is useful for keeping tabs on online status at optimal times, allowing for timely engagement.

    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 to save and manage the extracted alumni data. TexAu provides the following options:

    • Append (Default): Adds new results to the end of existing data, merging them into a single CSV file.
    • Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
    • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
    • Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

    Tip: Google Sheets export makes it easy to collaborate with your team in real time, particularly useful for alumni network management and analysis.

    Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

    The LinkedIn Online Status Checker automation makes it easy to track when LinkedIn contacts are active, helping you time outreach efforts effectively. With options for scheduling, bulk status checks, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool is valuable for sales, recruitment, and networking professionals looking to engage contacts at optimal times.
