Why this automation is useful#
Account lists are the core of account-based selling on Sales Navigator. Adding companies one by one does not scale past a few dozen accounts. This automation adds the company in one run and logs the status.
Both company URL formats work as input. You can feed it with LinkedIn company URLs from any source. The Status column confirms each addition in the CSV.
Use cases#
- Fill territory account lists. Sales teams can export an account search and qualify the rows. Add the target companies to a territory list. Reps start the quarter with a full book.
- Maintain one account list per client. Agencies can add each client's target accounts to a dedicated list. Reporting stays per client. The Status column proves the adds.
- Build a competitor watchlist. Business owners can add competitor companies to one list. Sales Navigator surfaces news and signals for saved accounts. Review the list weekly.
- Build a dream-client pipeline. Freelancers can save every company they want to work with. The list drives a steady outreach habit. Five adds per day fill a quarter pipeline.
- Create the account list, then add companies in bulk. Create an account list with Sales Navigator Account List Creator first. Take the List URL from that CSV. Use it here to add companies in bulk.
How to use it#
- Connect your LinkedIn account with the TexAu browser extension.
- Open Sales Navigator Account List Builder in the TexAu Desktop app.
- Enter the account list URL. Copy it from the address bar of the account list page.
- Enter the company URL. Sales Navigator and standard LinkedIn company URLs both work.
- Run the automation.
- Open the CSV in your export folder when the run ends.
The list must exist before the run. The automation uses your active session. Do not browse LinkedIn heavily during the run.
Limits and limitations#

- The account list must exist before the run. This automation does not create lists.

Troubleshooting#
The automation asks me to connect the account again. The platform session expired. Reconnect the account with the TexAu browser extension. See Connect accounts with the TexAu browser extension.
The run fails with an invalid URL error. Copy the URL exactly as the Inputs table shows. The automation checks the URL format before it runs.
The action did not appear on the platform. Check the run status in the History section. If the run failed, reconnect the account and run again.
The automation skipped my input. TexAu dedupes repeated runs of the same input. A second run of the same input does not repeat the action.
The same run fails several times. Note the exact error message from the app. Contact TexAu support and include this message and the automation name.
