LinkedIn Poll Results Export Automation

TexAu provides multiple options to specify LinkedIn posts for the LinkedIn Poll Results Export Automation. Here's how to configure each:

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to export poll results from a specific LinkedIn post. This is ideal for processing one poll at a time.

• Post URL: Enter the LinkedIn Post URL containing the poll for which results need to be exported.
• Once you’ve entered the details, click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Google Sheets

This option is perfect for exporting poll results from multiple LinkedIn posts efficiently. Follow these steps:

1. Connect Your Google Account:
   • Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account.
   • If not connected, click Add New Google Sheet Account to link another account.
2. Select Your Spreadsheet:
   • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn Post URLs.
   • Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where the URLs are stored.
3. Adjust Processing Options:
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define how many rows you want to scrape from the sheet.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
4. Provide Input Details:
   • Post URL: Specify the column containing LinkedIn Post URLs for polls.
5. Run the Automation:
   • Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the process.

Optional Advanced Feature:

CSV File

This option allows you to export poll results from a static CSV file. Follow these steps:

Tip: Use Google Sheets for dynamic or frequently updated LinkedIn post lists, and CSV files for static data that doesn’t change often.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you’d like the automation to run periodically, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or choose a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the automation:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day 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 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 15)

Scheduling is useful for ongoing tracking of poll results, allowing you to capture responses as they come in.

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

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the poll result data. Locate the LinkedIn Poll Results Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The LinkedIn Poll Results Export automation makes it easy to gather and analyze poll responses, helping marketers and analysts understand audience insights and preferences.
