Find LinkedIn messages waiting for your reply

Opens Messaging on the Focused tab and reads the conversation list, keeping only the threads whose last message is from the other person. A summary that starts with "You:" is your own last message, so those are skipped, along with InMail and sponsored threads.

Nothing is written or sent.

Inputs

Run it

run_task({
  "phases": [{
    "launch": "com.linkedin.android",
    "goal": "Open LinkedIn Messaging and stay on the Focused tab. Read the conversation list, scrolling down a few times. Do not open InMail or Sponsored conversations. Do not write or send anything.",
    "steps": ["The Messaging conversation list on the Focused tab is showing"],
    "maxSteps": 16,
    "collect": {
      "record": "a conversation in the LinkedIn Messaging list",
      "fields": { "name": "the other person's name",
                  "preview": "the last-message summary shown under the name, exactly as shown",
                  "time": "the time or date shown for the last message" },
      "judge": { "theirs": "the last message is from the other person: the summary does not start with 'You:', and the conversation is not marked InMail or Sponsored" },
      "require": { "theirs": 0.7 },
      "where": "the LinkedIn Messaging conversation list is showing",
      "count": <count>
    }
  }]
})

Poll get_task_status(task_id, wait_seconds: 30) until done.

What comes back

result.collected holds one record per conversation waiting on you, with the preview LinkedIn shows: often the whole message, sometimes cut off. For the full text, open the conversation in a second read, one person per task.

Notes

• Answer with linkedin-message-connection: it stops for your approval with the reply in the box, and never writes into a thread twice.
• Inbound from people you never contacted shows up here too; decide whether outreach tooling should answer those at all.
• A preview reading "This message has been deleted." counts as theirs; skip it, there is nothing to answer.
• Measured on 2026-10-06: 5 of 5 waiting conversations in 11 steps and 23 credits, each scored 0.94 or higher as the other person's.
• The Other tab holds messages LinkedIn judged less important. Read it as a second pass if replies might land there.
