Workflow

Sending a message

1. Verify sender account is connected

   • Use list_connected_linkedin_accounts to confirm the sender account is available
   • The sender must be a connected LinkedIn account

2. Compose the message

   • Draft a personalized, relevant message (1-8000 characters)
   • Keep it concise and professional

3. Confirm with the user before sending

   • Always show the full message content and recipient to the user
   • Wait for explicit approval before calling send_linkedin_message

4. Send the message

   • Call send_linkedin_message with senderUsername, recipientUsername, and message
   • Confirm delivery to the user

Sending a connection invitation

1. Verify sender account is connected

   • Use list_connected_linkedin_accounts to confirm the sender account is available

2. Optionally compose a message

   • A short personal note (max 300 characters) can be included with the invitation
   • If omitted, LinkedIn sends a default invitation

3. Confirm with the user before sending

   • Always show the recipient and optional message to the user
   • Wait for explicit approval before calling send_linkedin_invitation

4. Send the invitation

   • Call send_linkedin_invitation with senderUsername, recipientUsername, and optional message
   • Confirm delivery to the user

Reading conversations

1. Verify the inbox account is connected

   • Use list_connected_linkedin_accounts to confirm the account

2. Fetch conversations

   • Call list_linkedin_conversations with the account username
   • Returns 25 most recent conversations with participant info (name, headline, profile ID) and up to 100 messages each

Safety Notes

• Always confirm message content with the user before sending
• Respect LinkedIn rate limits
