Automate LinkedIn Inbox Triage with AI Browser Automation

18:31 to 20:40: Claire opens LinkedIn in Codex browser automation, defines how to triage the inbox, and watches the agent inspect messages and prepare responses.

Before you start

What you need

  • An authenticated LinkedIn session
  • A defined inbox segment and batch limit
  • Examples for reply, archive, skip, and escalation

What you’ll make

A triage log plus draft replies for messages that meet the response rules.

Tools used

The workflow

Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.

4 steps

Step 01

Log in to LinkedIn via AI App

Open your AI desktop app, such as ChatGPT, and use its built-in browser feature to log into your LinkedIn account.

Example prompt
Open LinkedIn in the authenticated browser profile and navigate to the specified inbox segment.
Step 02

Provide Triage Instructions

Provide a direct prompt that tells the AI how to handle your messages. Specify what to reply to, what to flag for your review, and the tone it should use.

Example prompt
For the next [number] messages: draft a reply when [rules], archive when [rules], skip when [rules], and escalate [sensitive cases]. Do not send.
Step 03

Execute the Triage

Run the prompt and let the AI navigate your inbox. It will click through unread messages, analyze their content, and perform the actions you specified.

Example prompt
Inspect one thread at a time and log sender, message summary, rule matched, and proposed action.
Step 04

Review AI Actions and Calibrate

Review the AI's drafted replies and notes, and handle any messages it flagged for you. Calibrate your approach as needed. For a simple task like this, a faster, less powerful model may be more efficient.

Example prompt
Review this sample of triage decisions, apply these corrections [list], and rerun only the untouched items.

What good looks like

  • No message is sent unless sending is explicitly authorized
  • Every triaged item has a reason and source link
  • Ambiguous, sensitive, or commercial messages are escalated
