Answer a LinkedIn message

How-toNew in 0.2.4

For anyone replying in LinkedIn's inbox: the Messaging page (linkedin.com/messaging) and the chat pop-ups at the bottom of any LinkedIn page.

Click into the message box, press Enter with no point, insert. You press Send.
  1. Open the conversation and click into its message box, or click the wave button next to it. The panel switches to LinkedIn DM and shows Replying to with the person's name and headline.
  2. Check what Riff read. Earlier in the conversation (6 messages read) folds the history, and their newest message sits under Marcus's latest. If your own message is the newest, the label reads Your last message (no reply yet, Riff writes a follow-up) Nudge someone who hasn't answered.
  3. Leave Your point empty and press Enter, or type what you want to say first. Empty means Riff answers what they said or asked and moves the conversation forward.
  4. Click Insert into message. Riff fills that conversation's box. Read it and press Send.

The draft is message-length: a short greeting with their first name only when the conversation is new, no sign-off, no signature, and about as formal and as long as their message. Riff never agrees to a time, a price or a yes or no on your behalf How DM replies differ from post replies.
