The LinkedIn Profile Activity Export automation allows you to collect recent activity from specific LinkedIn profiles, including likes, comments, shares, and posts. This tool is ideal for sales professionals, recruiters, and marketers who want to monitor engagement and interactions of key contacts or industry influencers. Follow this guide to configure 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. In the Automation Store, use the search bar to locate LinkedIn Profile Activity Export quickly.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Automation Store screen with "LinkedIn Profile Activity Export" entered in the search bar.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access LinkedIn profile activity, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two secure connection options:

Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for quick login without manually managing cookies.
Add Account: Connects directly via TexAu’s built-in browser extension for simple setup.

Tip: Magic Link is a secure and convenient way to connect without handling cookies manually.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the LinkedIn connection options, highlighting both Magic Link and Add Account choices.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Once LinkedIn is connected, configure the input source to specify which profiles you want to scrape for activity. You can enter a single LinkedIn Profile URL or upload a list of profile URLs using Google Sheets or CSV.

Single Profile URL: For a one-time activity extraction, enter the LinkedIn Profile URL of the specific profile. This option is ideal if you want to track activity from one key contact or influencer.
Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Profiles: For monitoring multiple profiles, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each LinkedIn Profile URL in a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu. This setup allows you to gather activity data from numerous profiles in one run, saving time.
Filtering Options: Apply filters like activity type (e.g., likes, comments, shares) or date range to focus on the most relevant interactions, tailored to your research goals.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you’d like to run the automation periodically, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or choose a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the automation:

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 allows for regular tracking of recent activity, helping you stay updated on new interactions.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the scheduling interface with options for selecting start time and recurrence frequency.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To prevent LinkedIn’s rate limits from being triggered, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each profile activity extraction. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to add variability, simulating natural usage. Adjust this delay in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, based on your preferences.

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

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you want to save and organize the extracted activity data. Exporting data to Google Sheets or CSV file allows for easy sharing and review.

Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, enabling a direct export to Google Drive.
Output Management:
- Append (Default): Adds each extraction to the end of the existing file, creating a comprehensive record of profile activity.
- Split: Each run generates a new file, useful for keeping data organized by session.
- Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest extraction, ideal if you’re only interested in the most recent activity.
Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, keeping your data organized and clean.

Tip: Google Sheets export is useful for team collaboration, allowing real-time access to activity data for analysis.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the output mode options screen with Google Sheets, CSV, and Deduplicate options highlighted.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once all configurations are set, click Run to start the automation. Choose between Cloud or Desktop mode:

Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers, ideal for hands-free operation.
Desktop: Run locally on your device if you prefer using your IP address, which can help simulate manual usage.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and provides more control over task execution.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Run button with Cloud and Desktop options visible.

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

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Data Store screen with the “See Data” button highlighted.

The LinkedIn Profile Activity Export automation makes it easy to monitor and track activity from LinkedIn profiles, helping sales, recruiting, and marketing professionals stay informed on engagement and interactions.
