Step 4: Select Your Input Source

TexAu enables you to efficiently extract articles published by LinkedIn profiles. This automation is beneficial for researchers, marketers, and professionals looking to analyze content trends, gather insights, or monitor updates from specific profiles. You can choose to process a single profile, multiple profiles via Google Sheets, or a static list from a CSV file.

Manually Enter a Single Input

Use this option to extract articles from a specific LinkedIn profile. Simply enter the LinkedIn profile URL into the input field to process one profile at a time. This is ideal for targeted article collection.

• Extract Limit (Optional): Specify the maximum number of articles to extract (up to 1,000).
• After entering the profile URL and setting the extraction limit, click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for exporting articles from multiple LinkedIn profiles efficiently. Follow these steps to use Google Sheets:

1. Click Select Google Account to choose your Google account or click Add New Google Sheet Account to link another account.
2. Click Accounts to select LinkedIn as the platform.
3. Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs. A pop-up will display your Google Drive files.

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

1. Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
2. Once uploaded, TexAu will display the file name and preview its content. Verify the data to confirm the correct file is selected.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To run the automation at specific intervals, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or choose a Recurrence Frequency for regular updates:

• None
• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
• 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 ideal if you need frequent updates on articles from specific profiles, ensuring your data stays current.

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 extracted article data. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Articles Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

The LinkedIn Profile Articles Export automation streamlines the process of collecting and analyzing articles from LinkedIn profiles, making it easy to track content trends and engagement.
