Short answer

How can I use AI to reply to LinkedIn messages?

Your AI client uses HeyReach to pull your recent conversations and send text replies. You get a direct way to manage prospects without leaving your chat window. You'll see exactly how it works below.

The outcomes.

Where your messages land.

The AI organizes your inbox activity into these four categories.

REPLIES

Direct prospect replies

The AI sends text responses to people in your inbox. These messages go straight to the prospect's LinkedIn account.

READ

Inbox monitoring

Your AI stays updated on new incoming messages. It keeps track of who is talking to you in real time.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a conversation gets too complex, you take over. The AI won't send anything you haven't approved or directed.

LOGS

Conversation history

Your AI maintains a clear view of your message threads. You can review what was said before deciding on a next step.

The workflow

What your AI does when a message arrives.

The AI acts as your inbox manager to keep conversations moving.

  1. Scan your inbox

    The AI looks through your recent LinkedIn threads to find new messages or unread prospects.

    list_conversations

  2. Read the context

    It analyzes the recent messages in a thread so it knows exactly what the prospect is asking.

    list_conversations

  3. Draft a response

    Your AI client generates a text reply based on your instructions and the conversation history.

    list_conversations

  4. Send the reply

    Once you're ready, the AI pushes the text response directly to the prospect on LinkedIn.
