Messages and replies

Once you're connected to someone, LinkedIn becomes a channel the Message Writer can use — and their replies come back to you without any copying and pasting.

Sending a message​

It follows the same path as every other outreach in Doers Movement:

  1. The Message Writer drafts something grounded in real research
  2. You review and edit it in your Tasks area
  3. You approve it
  4. It goes out from your LinkedIn account, at a safe moment

You'll be told roughly when it will send. See Outreach for the full review flow.

caution

The Message Writer will only choose LinkedIn for someone you're actually Connected to. If a contact is still on Request sent, it will wait or use email instead — LinkedIn simply won't deliver a message to a non-connection.

Replies come to you​

When someone replies on LinkedIn, their message arrives on the contact automatically — usually within seconds. You'll find it on the contact's Messages tab alongside everything else you've exchanged, and if you'd reached out to them from Doers Movement, they move to Responded, the same way an email reply would.

You don't have to be in Doers Movement for this to work, and you don't have to forward anything.

Chatting on LinkedIn doesn't move your pipeline​

Your LinkedIn inbox isn't all sales. Catching up with a friend or a former colleague shouldn't drop them into your Contacted column, so it doesn't.

Only messages you send or log in Doers Movement move someone to Contacted: approving a draft, logging a message, or asking your AI Agent to log one. Everything you say on LinkedIn still shows up on their Messages tab, so your drafts can pick up where the conversation left off.

If a LinkedIn chat turns into a real sales conversation, move them to Contacted yourself, or ask your AI Agent to. From then on, their replies move them along on their own.

Conversations you already had​

If you've been talking to someone on LinkedIn for months and they only just became a contact, that history gets pulled in too. It matters for one specific reason: a draft written without it would greet an old contact like a stranger.

This starts as soon as you connect your LinkedIn account, and it runs in the background across your whole inbox. A big inbox takes a while, and nothing waits for it: if a draft is written before that person's history has landed, you still get the draft. It simply won't reference the earlier conversation.

If you spot that happening on someone you've talked to before, the history will catch up on its own, and any later message will have it.

Edits and deletions​

If someone edits a message on LinkedIn, the copy in Doers Movement updates to match. If they delete one, it's marked deleted here too. What you read should be what's really on LinkedIn.
