Workflow name
Search for people on LinkedIn using the TexAU API

This workflow performs automated LinkedIn people search using the TexAU API. It is ideal for prospecting, recruitment, lead generation, and workflows where structured people-search results from LinkedIn are needed.

How it Works

  1. The workflow is triggered manually or by another automation.
  2. Search inputs such as name, role, keywords, or location are sent to TexAU’s People Search automation.
  3. TexAU starts a background job that executes the search on LinkedIn.
  4. The workflow waits a short period to allow TexAU to finish processing.
  5. It then polls TexAU’s results endpoint and retrieves the completed dataset.
  6. The workflow outputs a structured list of matching profiles, typically including name, headline, job title, profile URL, and relevance indicators.

Setup Steps

  • Add your TexAU API key to the HTTP Request node.
  • Supply search parameters manually or dynamically.
  • Adjust wait time based on TexAU’s queue load.
  • Route results to your CRM, AI agent, or lead pipeline.

Good to Know Search results depend on publicly visible LinkedIn data. TexAU processing time varies by query complexity.
