LinkedIn Inbox Manager

LinkedIn Inbox Manager

Automated LinkedIn inbox monitoring with human-in-the-loop approval for responses. Uses Peekaboo for UI automation (no API rate limits, works with any LinkedIn account).

Requirements

macOS with Peekaboo CLI installed (brew install steipete/tap/peekaboo) Screen Recording + Accessibility permissions granted LinkedIn logged in via browser (Chrome recommended) Clawdbot with browser capability

1. One-time Setup

# Grant Peekaboo permissions peekaboo permissions # Verify LinkedIn is accessible peekaboo app launch "Google Chrome" peekaboo see --app "Google Chrome" --annotate --path /tmp/linkedin-check.png

2. Configure User Style

Create linkedin-inbox-config.json in your workspace: { "scan": { "intervalMinutes": 60, "activeHours": { "start": 9, "end": 18, "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles" }, "skipWeekends": true }, "drafting": { "styleProfile": "USER.md", "templates": { "decline": "Thanks for reaching out. Not a fit for us right now, but best of luck.", "interested": "This looks interesting. Happy to chat more. What's your availability?", "referral": "I might know someone. Let me check and get back to you." } }, "notifications": { "channel": "discord", "target": "#linkedin" } }

3. Start Monitoring

• Tell your agent: "Start LinkedIn inbox monitoring" or add to HEARTBEAT.md:
• Check LinkedIn inbox if last scan >1 hour ago

Scan Inbox

# Navigate to LinkedIn messaging peekaboo app launch "Google Chrome" peekaboo menu click --app "Google Chrome" --item "New Tab" peekaboo type "https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/" --return sleep 3 # Capture inbox state peekaboo see --app "Google Chrome" --window-title "Messaging" --annotate --path /tmp/linkedin-inbox.png The agent reads the annotated screenshot to identify: Unread messages (bold names, blue dots) Message previews Sender names and titles

Draft Responses

For each unread message: Agent reads the conversation Classifies intent (pitch, networking, job inquiry, spam) Drafts response matching user's communication style Posts draft to notification channel for approval Example notification: 💼 LinkedIn: New message from **Alex M.** (Founder @ SomeCompany) Preview: "Hi, I noticed you're growing and wondered if..." **My read:** Services pitch. Doesn't fit current needs. **Draft reply:** > Thanks for reaching out. We're set on that side for now, but I'll keep you in mind if that changes. React ✅ to send, ❌ to skip, or reply with edits.

Send Approved Messages

On approval: # Click into conversation peekaboo click --on [message-element-id] --app "Google Chrome" sleep 1 # Type response peekaboo type "Your approved message here" --app "Google Chrome" # Send (Enter or click Send button) peekaboo press return --app "Google Chrome"

Communication Style Matching

The skill reads USER.md (or configured style file) to match the user's tone: Extract these signals: Formality level (casual vs professional) Typical greeting style Sign-off patterns Sentence length preference Banned words/phrases Response length norms Apply to drafts: Mirror detected patterns Use user's vocabulary Match their directness level Respect their guardrails (no "excited", no hype, etc.) See references/style-extraction.md for detailed guidance.

Morning Ping Integration

Add LinkedIn summary to your morning ping: 📣 The Morning Ping — Monday, Jan 27 **LinkedIn:** • 💚 Sarah Chen replied — "That sounds great, let's do Thursday" → Draft ready • 💚 Mike R. replied — "Not interested right now" → No action needed • 📩 3 new connection requests (2 sales pitches, 1 relevant) • 📩 1 unread message from Alex (job inquiry) → Draft ready Reply "send sarah" to approve, "skip mike" to archive.

Approval Commands

Users can respond with: send [name] - Send the drafted reply send all - Send all pending drafts skip [name] - Archive without replying edit [name]: [new message] - Replace draft and send show [name] - Show full conversation

Via Cron (Recommended)

{ "schedule": "0 */2 9-18 * * 1-5", "text": "Scan LinkedIn inbox and post any new messages to #linkedin with draft replies" }

Via Heartbeat

• In HEARTBEAT.md:
• If 9am-6pm PT and last LinkedIn scan >60min: scan inbox, draft replies, post to #linkedin

Safety Rules

Never send without explicit approval - Always wait for user confirmation Rate limit actions - Max 20 LinkedIn actions per hour Respect quiet hours - Don't scan outside configured activeHours Log everything - Record all actions in daily memory file Preserve originals - Never delete messages, only archive

"Can't find messaging UI"

Ensure Chrome is open with LinkedIn logged in Check window title matches (may vary by language) Use peekaboo list windows --app "Google Chrome" --json to debug

"Session expired"

LinkedIn sessions expire periodically Re-authenticate manually in browser Skill will detect login page and notify user

"Peekaboo permissions denied"
