Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access company profiles on LinkedIn, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu offers two secure options for connection:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email, allowing you to connect without manually entering cookies.
• Add Account: Connects directly via TexAu’s built-in browser extension for a smooth setup process.

Tip: Using Magic Link provides a fast, secure way to log in without cookie management.

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

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Once connected, define the input source to specify which LinkedIn company profiles you want to convert. You can input a single LinkedIn Company URL or upload a list of multiple URLs using Google Sheets or CSV.

1. Single Company URL: For a quick, single-company data extraction, enter the LinkedIn Company URL. This option is helpful if you’re focusing on one company for detailed analysis or lead generation.

2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Companies: For bulk data extraction, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each LinkedIn Company URL on a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu. This setup allows you to gather data from multiple companies in a single run, saving time and effort.

3. LinkedIn Filters: For bulk conversions, use filters to refine your results further. Options include:

   • Industry: Focus on specific sectors, such as technology, finance, or healthcare.
   • Location: Narrow down results to companies based in certain regions.
   • Company Size: Filter by company size to target large enterprises, mid-sized firms, or small businesses.

   Applying filters helps you capture only the most relevant company data based on your specific needs.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

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

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every 12 hours)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 10th and 20th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., February 15)

Scheduling is useful if you’re frequently collecting company data and want it updated regularly for real-time insights.

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

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to space out each company data extraction. Configure both Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to add a randomized interval between requests, helping simulate natural usage. Adjust the delay in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, based on your preferences.

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

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you’d like to save and organize the extracted company data. You can export data to Google Sheets or a CSV file for easy analysis, collaboration, and sharing.

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file for data export. Link your Google account if you select Google Sheets, enabling automatic export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each new dataset to the end of the existing file, helpful for building a comprehensive company list.
   • Split: Saves each run in a separate file, ideal for creating distinct datasets for each automation session.
   • Overwrite: Replaces the previous data with the latest extractions, useful for tracking only the most recent company information.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to remove duplicate entries, ensuring your data stays organized and accurate.

Tip: Exporting directly to Google Sheets allows your team to view and analyze data in real-time, perfect for collaborative projects.

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 complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose whether to run on Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation from TexAu’s servers, ideal for seamless, hands-off operation.
• Desktop: Run locally on your device, which can be beneficial for using your IP address to simulate manual activity.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and provides additional control over the execution process.

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 company data. Locate the LinkedIn Universal Company Converter automation and click See Data to view or download the results.
