LinkedIn Writing Workflows: Messages, Invitations, Comments, and Posts

LinkedIn writing workflows are the distinct drafting jobs you do on LinkedIn: reply in a chat, reply in Sales Navigator inbox, add an invite note, comment on a post, or publish a post. Each job uses different context. Mixing them causes bad drafts.

This hub maps those jobs for people who use AGNURA AI Assistant in Chrome. Task-level how-tos live as separate spokes. This page owns the map: which surface, which actions, which context, and what AGNURA never does (auto-send, bulk invites, engagement pods).

Direct answer

On LinkedIn in the browser, AGNURA can help you draft when Activate LinkedIn is on:

Surface	Main generate action	Main rewrite action	Extra
Classic Messaging compose	Write Reply	Rewrite Message	Voice to Text mic
Sales Navigator inbox	Write Reply	Rewrite Message	Voice to Text + Select Template
Connection invite note	Write Invite Note	Rewrite Invite Note	200-character cap
Feed comment box	Write a Reply	Rewrite Reply	Voice to Text
Create-post popup	Generate Post (wizard)	Rewrite Post	News / KB / story / article lanes

Sales Navigator uses a separate content script from classic Messaging. Classic Messaging skips /sales/ paths so the two do not share injection logic.

Every AI draft still needs your review. Insert is manual. You click Send, Invite, Comment, or Post in LinkedIn.

Why the map matters

People often expect one “LinkedIn AI button” to mean the same thing everywhere. It does not.

• A message may need profile + thread.
• An invite note is short and profile-led.
• A comment needs the post (and visible comments).
• A post may need ideas from news, a knowledge base, a personal story, or one article.

Using rewrite when you need generate (or the reverse) wastes a call and can drop the context you care about. The Gmail pair works the same way: Generate vs Rewrite in Gmail: Which Context Is Used?.

Key concepts

Generate vs rewrite (LinkedIn)

Pattern	Typical inputs	Job
Generate / Write	Surface-specific prompt + context (profile, thread, post, comments, wizard sources) + optional knowledge base / What I want to say	Create a first draft from context
Rewrite	Shared rewrite prompt + current draft	Polish wording without reloading full conversation/post context

Human-in-the-loop

Drafting is not sending. AGNURA does not auto-send messages, auto-connect, auto-comment, or auto-publish posts.

Local settings vs managed AI

Prompts, Activate LinkedIn, news catalog, and wizard answers live in Chrome local storage. Generate/Rewrite calls use your AGNURA sign-in. Voice to Text uses the browser speech API (no managed AI). See Local Settings vs Local AI: The Privacy Difference.

Options by surface

1. Messaging (Write Reply / Rewrite Message)

Where: Classic LinkedIn messaging compose footer (not Sales Navigator).

Write Reply can send:

• LinkedIn reply prompt
• Optional What I want to say
• Shared knowledge base
• Recipient profile (best-effort from profile page and/or messaging; may use session-backed profile fetch paths when only a profile URL is visible)
• Conversation thread when available

Birthday hints from the profile Highlights area can steer openings when present. Top Activity posts may be included when visible on the profile.

Rewrite Message sends rewrite prompt + compose draft only (no profile, thread, or knowledge base).

Requirements (Write Reply): AGNURA credits, non-empty LinkedIn reply prompt, and at least profile or thread context.

1b. Sales Navigator inbox (separate feature)

Where: LinkedIn Sales Navigator conversation compose under /sales/inbox/....

Write Reply uses the same LinkedIn reply prompt and optional knowledge base, plus:

• Recipient name and headline from the thread header (and /sales/lead/... link when present)
• InMail / message thread text from the open conversation

It does not run classic /in/ Voyager profile redirects from this script. Profile context is thinner than classic Messaging.

Rewrite Message, Select Template, and Voice to Text are also available on the Sales Nav actions bar.

2. Connection invite notes

Where: LinkedIn “Add a note to your invitation” modal.

Write Invite Note uses invite prompt, profile context (including recent Activity posts when available), and knowledge base. Output is capped at 200 characters.

Rewrite Invite Note rewrites the note draft under the same cap.

Insert into the note field is manual. AGNURA does not click Send invitation for you.

3. Feed comments

Where: Comment box on a feed/post (“Add a comment…”).

Write a Reply uses comment prompt, post text, visible comments, optional What I want to say, and knowledge base. Last generated reply per post can be stored locally (up to 50 posts) and reloaded.

Rewrite Reply is draft-only (no post/comments/KB).

Voice to Text appends dictation into the comment editor.

4. Create post (Generate Post / Rewrite Post)

Where: LinkedIn create-post popup footer (not the closed feed composer row).

Generate Post opens a 5-step wizard (answers saved locally):

1. Idea source: Industry news, Knowledge base only, Personal story, or React to one article
2. Topic inputs (industries, story notes, article URL, or KB confirm)
3. Feel: audience / format / tone / time window (plus advanced must-include/avoid/prompts)
4. Pick an idea (news/article lanes can show real RSS headlines)
5. Generate post text, then Insert / Copy

Rewrite Post polishes the post draft with the shared rewrite prompt (optional What I want to say). No ideas/RSS/KB on rewrite.

News industries and feeds live under Settings → News Sources.

Decision framework

If…	Then…	Because…
You are answering a classic chat	Messaging Write Reply	Profile + thread matter
You are answering Sales Navigator InMail	Sales Nav Write Reply	Separate surface; header + thread
You already typed the message	Rewrite Message	Draft-only polish
You are connecting with a note	Write Invite Note	Short, profile-led, 200-cap
You are commenting on a post	Feed Write a Reply	Post + visible comments
You need a new LinkedIn post from news or KB	Generate Post wizard	Idea lanes are built for that
You only want to rephrase a finished post	Rewrite Post	Smaller context
You want dictation without AI cost	Voice to Text	No managed AI call

Checklist: responsible LinkedIn drafting

1. Confirm Activate LinkedIn is on; refresh LinkedIn after toggles.
2. Open the correct surface (message, invite, comment, or create-post).
3. Prefer facts visible in profile, thread, post, or your knowledge base.
4. Generate or rewrite once.
5. Edit claims, tone, and length (especially invite notes).
6. Insert manually.
7. You click Send / Invite / Comment / Post in LinkedIn.

Where AGNURA fits

AGNURA AI Assistant is a Chrome extension. LinkedIn helpers run on LinkedIn pages you already have open. They do not replace LinkedIn’s product rules or your judgment.

Prerequisites

• Desktop Chrome + AGNURA installed
• Signed into LinkedIn in that profile
• Activate LinkedIn on (default on for new installs)
• AGNURA sign-in for generate/rewrite actions
• Matching prompts under Settings → LinkedIn Prompts / Rewrite Prompt / News Sources as needed

Setup: Install AGNURA From the Chrome Web Store and Sign In and Use AGNURA AI Credits.

Compared with common alternatives

Approach	Fit
Copy into a chatbot tab	Works; more context loss
LinkedIn-only auto-outreach bots	Volume; higher platform and trust risk; not AGNURA’s job
AGNURA on-page LinkedIn drafting	Same-tab context, manual insert/send

Risks and limits

• Profile, thread, and comment scrapes are best-effort. Lazy-loaded or private content may be missing.
• Managed AI receives the context you trigger for that action via AGNURA managed AI. Review privacy expectations first: AGNURA Privacy in Plain Language.
• AGNURA does not automate connection requests, bulk DMs, engagement pods, scheduling, or auto-posting.
• No acceptance-rate, reply-rate, or reach promises.
• Follow LinkedIn’s terms and your company’s outreach policy.
