Why this automation is useful#
Sales Navigator lead filters find people by title, seniority, geography, and company. This automation exports the results to a CSV. Copying profiles one by one disappears.
The CSV includes the headline, the tenure, the connection degree, and the Free InMail flag. Your team can decide who to contact first.
Spotlight highlights show news mentions. Past company fields reveal shared history for personalized openers.
Use cases#
- Build an outbound list from one filtered search. Set your filters in Sales Navigator. Paste the search URL into the automation. Export up to 2500 profiles to the CSV.
- Target profiles with free InMail. Filter the CSV on Free InMail equals YES. Message those profiles without a connection request. Save your InMail credits.
- Find champions who changed jobs. Filter on Position Tenure under six months. Past users of your product buy again at their new company. Message them first.
- Recruit beta users for a product. A founder exports a search of target users. The CSV feeds interview invitations. Book ten interviews per week.
- Sell list building as a service. An agency exports searches for each client ICP. Each CSV becomes a deliverable. Clients receive clean prospect lists.
- Promote an event to a niche audience. Search for the right titles in your event city. Export the list. Invite those profiles to your webinar or dinner.
How to use it#
- Connect your Sales Navigator account with the TexAu browser extension.

FAQ#
Q: How many exports can I run per day? A: TexAu sets a default limit of 80 executions per day for this automation.
Q: How many profiles can I export per run? A: One search extracts a maximum of 2500 profiles. Split the search with narrower filters and run again for more coverage.
Q: Can LinkedIn restrict my account? A: Yes. LinkedIn can restrict your account if you exceed 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 search is a Sales Navigator feature.
Q: Does the automation dedupe results? A: TexAu dedupes repeated runs of the same input. Keep your CSVs clean by not re-running the same input.
Q: Where do results go? A: Results save as a CSV in your export folder. You can also find past runs in the History section of the app.
Q: Can I use a keyword instead of a URL? A: Yes. The input accepts a keyword, for example John Doe, or a full Sales Navigator lead search URL.
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 CSV has fewer results than expected. The platform shows less data to your account than the total count suggests. Private or restricted profiles do not appear. This is normal platform behavior.
The automation stops before it reaches my extract limit. You reached a rate limit window. Wait for the window to reset, then run the automation again. See Manage rate limits.
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.
