Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

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

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email, allowing you to log in without manually entering cookies.
• Add Account: Connects through TexAu’s built-in browser extension for an easy and automatic setup.

Tip: Using Magic Link simplifies the login process and bypasses cookie entry.

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

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

Once your LinkedIn account is connected, define the input source to set up your LinkedIn Company search criteria. You can use a single keyword or LinkedIn Company URL, or upload multiple keywords or URLs in bulk via Google Sheets or CSV.

1. Single Keyword or Company URL: Enter a LinkedIn Company Search URL or keyword to target specific companies or topics. For example, entering a keyword like "SaaS" helps to pull up company profiles in the software industry.

2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Keywords: To track multiple companies or keywords, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each company name or keyword in a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file to TexAu. This setup allows TexAu to perform multiple company searches in one run.

3. LinkedIn Filters: Customize your LinkedIn Company Search URL with filters to refine results further:

   • Location: Narrow results to companies within a specific region.
   • Industry: Target companies in particular sectors, such as healthcare, technology, or finance.
   • Company Size: Filter for company size, ranging from small businesses to large enterprises.

   Applying these filters lets you hone in on exactly the type of companies you want to analyze or reach out to.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you want TexAu to run the automation at specific times, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the date and time for the automation, or select a Recurrence Frequency to run it automatically:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 6 hours or every day)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., Mondays and Fridays)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., December 5)

Scheduling the automation is useful if you’re tracking changes in a list of companies over time or regularly gathering new company data.

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

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To simulate natural usage and avoid LinkedIn’s rate-limiting, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between requests. Choose a Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay to add variability between data extractions. You can adjust this setting in seconds, minutes, hours, or days, depending on your automation needs.

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

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

Select how you want the extracted data to be saved in Output Mode, with options for exporting to Google Sheets or a CSV file. This gives flexibility in data handling for analysis and sharing.

1. Export Options: Choose either Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. If you select Google Sheets, link your Google account to enable direct export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each new dataset to the existing file, helpful for maintaining an ongoing list of companies.
   • Split: Each run creates a separate file, ideal if you want to segment data by each automation run.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest extraction, perfect for tracking only current information.
3. Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, keeping your data clean and organized.

Tip: Exporting directly to Google Sheets facilitates collaboration with your team for real-time access and analysis.

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

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once you’ve configured all the settings, click Run to start the automation. Choose whether to run on Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation from TexAu’s servers, which is convenient if you don’t need to use your device’s IP.
• Desktop: Run the automation locally on your device if you prefer to use your own IP, which can be beneficial for simulating manual activity.

Tip: Running the automation on Desktop mode saves cloud run-time costs and provides additional control over task execution.

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

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 data. Locate your LinkedIn Company Search Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Data Store screen with the “See Data” button highlighted.

The LinkedIn Company Search Export automation is a powerful tool for gathering detailed data on companies based on specific keywords and filters. With scheduling, flexible input options, and easy export to Google Sheets or CSV, TexAu enables sales and marketing teams to track industries, build targeted lists, and monitor companies efficiently on LinkedIn.
