• Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Specify how many rows you want to process for the extraction.
• Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Define the number of rows to skip at the beginning if needed.

2. If not connected, click Add New Google Sheet Account to link another account.

Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

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

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every 6 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Thursdays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)

Scheduling the automation is beneficial if you regularly track updates for a list of companies, keeping your records up to date.

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

Once the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted company data. Locate the LinkedIn Public Company Scraper automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
