Messaging prompts
Copy any prompt below and paste it into Claude, Cursor or your MCP client.
“Message sarah-jones saying: Hey Sarah, loved your post about AI hiring — would love to chat about it”
Sends a 1:1 LinkedIn DM to a profile by their public ID. By default auto-detects Sales Navigator and routes accordingly. You can explicitly set messagingChannel to 'sales_navigator' or 'linkedin_inbox' to control which channel is used.
conversations-send-message“Show me my 20 most recent LinkedIn conversations”
Lists conversations with participant names, last message preview, unread count and timestamps. Merges Sales Navigator threads automatically.
list-conversations“Open my conversation with john-smith and show me the messages”
Retrieves all messages in a conversation thread with sender info, timestamps and attachment metadata. Works for both standard and Sales Nav threads.
get-conversation-messages“Sync my LinkedIn inbox — I want to make sure I have the latest messages”
Triggers a full sync of conversations from LinkedIn API to local database. Use when you want to ensure data is up to date.
conversations-sync“Is my inbox sync finished yet?”
Returns sync progress including total conversations synced, messages processed, any errors and whether the initial sync is complete.
conversations-sync-status“Send a message to the SaaS Growth Hackers group saying we just launched our new feature”
Posts a message to a LinkedIn group the connected account belongs to. Only works for groups you're a member of.
send-group-message“Message john-doe using my regular LinkedIn inbox, not Sales Navigator: Hey John, let's catch up next week”
Sends a message via standard LinkedIn inbox by setting messagingChannel to 'linkedin_inbox'. Use this when you want to bypass Sales Navigator even if the account has it. You can also set messagingChannel to 'sales_navigator' to force Sales Nav.
conversations-send-message“Reply to my existing Sales Navigator thread with Mike — tell him I'm free Tuesday at 2pm”
Sends a message via Sales Navigator API to an existing thread. Can also start new Sales Nav conversations with profile URNs.
sales-nav-send-message“How many InMail credits do I have left?”
Returns your InMail credit balance. Auto-detects account type (Sales Navigator, Business Premium, Recruiter). Non-premium accounts return 0.
