Why this automation is useful#
Saving profiles to a list one by one is slow. This automation adds the profile in one run and logs the status. Both LinkedIn URL formats work as input.
Lead lists drive the rest of the Sales Navigator workflow. A filled list feeds exports, messaging, and monitoring. The Status column confirms each addition in the CSV.
Use cases#
- Move hot leads into a shared list. Sales teams can export a lead search and qualify the rows. Add the best profiles to a "Hot Leads Q4" list. The whole team works from the same list.
- Segment client prospects by persona. Agencies can keep one list per persona per client. Add each new prospect to the right list. Outreach templates map one to one to the lists.
- Keep a clean contacted list. Freelancers can save every prospect they message into a "Contacted" list. The list shows who already heard from you. Double touches stop.
- Build an investor or partner list. Business owners can add profiles as they find them. The list becomes the pipeline for the raise or the partnership push. Review it every week.
- Create the list, then fill it. Create a lead list with Sales Navigator Lead List Creator first. Take the List URL from that CSV. Use it here to add profiles in bulk.
How to use it#
- Connect your LinkedIn account with the TexAu browser extension.
- Open Sales Navigator Lead List Builder in the TexAu Desktop app.
- Enter the lead list URL. Copy it from the address bar of the list page.
- Enter the profile URL. Sales Navigator and standard LinkedIn profile 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#
- TexAu sets a default limit of 80 executions per day for this automation.
- You need an active Sales Navigator subscription. A free LinkedIn account is not enough.
- The lead list must exist before the run. This automation does not create lists.
- The automation uses your active session. Heavy browser use on the same account can disturb a run.
- LinkedIn can change its page structure. A run can fail after such a platform change.
FAQ#
Q: How many profiles can I add per day? A: TexAu sets a default limit of 80 executions per day for this automation. One execution adds one profile.
Q: Can LinkedIn restrict my account for using this automation? A: Yes, if you exceed normal usage limits. TexAu adds random delays between actions. Keep to the default limits.
Q: Do I need a proxy? A: A proxy is not required for one account. Use one proxy per account when you run many accounts.
Q: What subscription do I need? A: You need an active Sales Navigator subscription. Lead lists are a Sales Navigator feature.

Q: Which profile URL formats work? A: Sales Navigator profile URLs and standard LinkedIn profile URLs both work.
Q: Does the automation remove duplicates? A: TexAu dedupes repeated runs of the same input. Do not re-run the same profile and list pair to keep your CSVs clean.

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.
