    Google Sheets

    This option is ideal for following 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 connect additional accounts.
    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.
    4. Select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet containing LinkedIn profile URLs. Confirm the correct sheet selection to ensure the data is accurate.
    5. 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.
    6. Select Header: Choose the column header containing LinkedIn profile URLs. This step is mandatory for the automation to function correctly.
    7. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation if no advanced settings are needed.

    Optional Advanced Feature:

    • Loop Mode: Enable Loop Mode to re-process the Google Sheet from the beginning once all rows are completed. This is useful for tasks that require recurring updates.

    Watch Row (Optional)

    Watch Row feature helps you automate workflows triggered by new Google Sheet entries. It scans for new rows and executes the linked workflow automatically.

    Configure Watch Row by selecting a frequency and setting a time limit.

    Watch Row Schedule

    • None
    • Scheduling Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes, every hour)
    • One-Time Execution
    • Daily Execution
    • Weekly Recurrence (e.g., every Tuesday and Friday)
    • Monthly Specific Dates (e.g., 4th and 18th)
    • Custom Fixed Dates (e.g., March 7)

    The default setting is 15 minutes, and it runs for five days unless modified.

    With Watch Row, TexAu ensures workflows execute as soon as new data is detected.

    CSV File

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

    1. Click Upload CSV File and browse to locate the file containing LinkedIn profile URLs.

      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the file.

    5. Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation if advanced configurations like scheduling are not required.

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

    Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Input Source selection screen, highlighting the CSV file upload feature, file preview, and the Select Header option.

    step3

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    Use the Schedule settings if you want TexAu to follow profiles at specific intervals. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or choose a Recurrence Frequency to automate the follow actions regularly:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 8 hours or every day)
    • 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 helps you follow profiles gradually, keeping engagement consistent without overwhelming your feed.

    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
