The LinkedIn Group Chat Inviter automation allows you to invite connections into specific LinkedIn group chats, enabling more targeted discussions and engagement. This tool is perfect for community managers, recruiters, and networkers who want to foster closer interactions within their network. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV to track invitations.

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 find LinkedIn Group Chat Inviter quickly.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Automation Store screen with "LinkedIn Group Chat Inviter" entered in the search bar.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To allow TexAu to access your LinkedIn account and invite connections to a group chat, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two secure connection methods:

Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email for login without manual cookie handling.
Add Account: Connects directly using TexAu’s built-in browser extension for quick setup.

Tip: Magic Link is a fast, secure way to connect LinkedIn without needing to manage 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, specify the input source to choose which connections to invite to the group chat. You can enter individual LinkedIn Profile URLs or upload a list of URLs via Google Sheets or CSV.

Single Profile URL: For inviting a specific connection, enter the LinkedIn Profile URL of the individual you wish to add to the group chat. This is useful if you’re targeting one person.
Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Profiles: For inviting multiple connections, 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 invite numerous connections in one go, saving time.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the input source options with LinkedIn Profile URL, Google Sheet, and CSV options highlighted.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

To run the automation at specific intervals, configure the Schedule settings. Click Schedule to set the start date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency for regular invitations:

At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
Once
Every Day
On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Monday and Wednesday)
On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 5th and 20th)
On Specific Dates (e.g., March 1)

Scheduling is helpful for keeping your group chats active and regularly inviting new members.

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 invitation. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to introduce variability, simulating natural behavior. Adjust the delay in seconds, minutes, or hours as needed.

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 data on the invitations sent. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV file for easy tracking, review, and follow-ups.

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

Tip: Exporting to Google Sheets provides real-time access to invitation data, making it easy to manage group engagement efforts.

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 to run on 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 own IP address, which can help simulate manual usage.

Tip: Running the automation 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 invitation data. Locate the LinkedIn Group Chat Inviter automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

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