Overview
Tutorial
TexAu's LinkedIn Product Search Export automation allows you to quickly gather LinkedIn product data without manual effort. By connecting your LinkedIn account and customizing the automation settings, you can schedule and run the export on cloud or desktop for full flexibility. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure a smooth and seamless automation setup.
Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation
Start by logging into your TexAu account at TexAu. Once logged in, navigate to the Automation Store located in the main menu. In the search bar, type “LinkedIn Product Search Export” to locate the automation. Click on the automation name to open its settings page.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu
Before running the automation, you’ll need to connect your LinkedIn account to TexAu. In the automation setup screen, click “Add Account” and select LinkedIn from the list of available platforms. You can connect your LinkedIn account in two ways:
- Magic Link: This option sends a secure link to your registered email, allowing you to connect your LinkedIn account quickly.
- Add Account button: If you prefer, you can also use TexAu’s pre-installed browser extension to link your LinkedIn profile directly.
Tip: Using Magic Link is a quick and easy way to connect without needing to manually enter cookies.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source
After adding your LinkedIn account, the next step is to set an input source for the product search. TexAu provides a few ways to input search data:
- Enter a LinkedIn Product Search URL directly if you want to target specific products.
- Use a Google Sheet URL or CSV file if you have a list of keywords or LinkedIn search URLs you want to process in bulk.
If you are searching for particular product types, enter relevant keywords or apply LinkedIn filters, such as location or industry, to narrow down results. Copy the search URL with these filters or upload a Google Sheet or CSV file containing multiple URLs or keywords for TexAu to automate.
Screenshot suggestion: Show the input source selection screen with each option visible.
Tip: LinkedIn has a “Product Search Limit” of up to 1,000 profiles per URL. If you receive more results than this, consider adjusting your filters to reduce each URL’s profile count.
Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)
If you’d like to run the automation at a specific date and time or set it to repeat periodically, go to the Schedule section. Click Schedule, then set the desired start time. From here, you can choose from several scheduling options, including:
- At Regular Intervals (e.g., every hour, every 4 hours)
- Once
- Every Day
- Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday)
- Specific Days of the Month
- Specific Dates for one-time exports on specific days.
You can also adjust the start and end times of each run if you need the automation to execute within certain hours.
Screenshot suggestion: Show the scheduling setup screen with options like intervals and specific dates.
Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)
To prevent LinkedIn from flagging the automation as suspicious activity, it’s recommended to set an iteration delay to control how frequently TexAu retrieves each profile. This setting allows you to spread out the requests by adding variability between actions. Set both a Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay, and choose the time unit (seconds, minutes, hours, or days) that fits your needs.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)
In Output Mode, select your preferred format for exporting data: Google Sheet or CSV file. If you select Google Sheets, TexAu will automatically send the results to a connected Google account.
- Append (Default): New data is added to the end of the previous results, creating one continuously updated file.
- Split: A separate file is created for each export.
- Overwrite: Each new export replaces the data from the previous export, which is helpful for monitoring changes in product search results.
To keep your data organized, enable deduplication to automatically remove duplicates from the exported data.
Tip: Google Sheets is convenient for real-time access and sharing across teams.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop
Once you’ve configured all necessary settings, you’re ready to run the automation. Click Run, then choose between Cloud and Desktop mode. Running on Cloud allows TexAu to handle the automation on its servers, while Desktop mode runs the automation on your local device, ideal for tasks requiring IP address simulation from your location.
Tip: Running automations on Desktop saves cloud usage time and can provide more control.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store
After the automation completes, go to Data Store in your TexAu account. Locate your LinkedIn Product Search Export entry and click “See Data” to view the extracted results.
Screenshot suggestion: Display the Data Store page with the “See Data” button highlighted.
By following these steps, you can use TexAu to automate LinkedIn product data exports efficiently. This automation is a powerful tool for founders, sales managers, and marketers, allowing you to focus on using the data instead of gathering it manually. With options for Google Sheet exports, desktop/cloud flexibility, and easy account integration, TexAu is an ideal solution for seamless LinkedIn data collection.
