The LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation allows you to collect recent posts from specified LinkedIn profiles, including post content, engagement metrics, and post dates. This tool is ideal for marketers, social media managers, and sales teams who want to analyze thought leadership, engagement patterns, or content trends. Follow this guide to set up the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for easy analysis and tracking.

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

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. Navigate to the Automation Store and use the search bar to locate LinkedIn Profile Posts Export.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn posts, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure connection options:

• 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.
• Add Account: Connects directly via TexAu’s built-in browser extension, making setup straightforward.

Tip: Magic Link provides a fast, secure way to connect LinkedIn without needing to manage cookies.

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.

Step 4: Select Your Input Source

The LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation allows you to extract recent posts from LinkedIn profiles efficiently. This tool is perfect for marketers, researchers, or professionals who need to gather insights or analyze content strategies from LinkedIn profiles. You can process a single profile or multiple profiles using Google Sheets or a CSV file.

• Extract Limit (Optional): Define the maximum number of posts to extract (up to 1,000).
• Once the details are entered, click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Google Sheets

This option is ideal for exporting posts 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 connect 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.

5. Configure additional options:
   • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows to process from the sheet.
   • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define rows to skip at the beginning of the sheet.
6. Profile URL: Ensure the column contains LinkedIn profile URLs for which you want to extract posts.
7. Extract Limit (Optional): Define the maximum number of posts to extract (up to 1,000).
8. Click Run in the lower-right corner to initiate the automation.

Optional Advanced Feature:

CSV File

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.

6. Click Run in the lower-right corner to start the automation.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

Use TexAu’s scheduling feature if you want to run the automation at specific intervals. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency for repeated extraction:

• 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 Friday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 15)

Scheduling is useful if you need frequent updates on profile posts, ensuring your data is always 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.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing Minimum Delay, Maximum Delay, and time units.

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 post data. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Posts Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
