How to Write a Reply in LinkedIn Sales Navigator Inbox

You will be able to draft a Sales Navigator inbox reply from the open conversation’s header and InMail/message thread, review it, insert it into the compose box, and send it yourself.

AGNURA AI Assistant treats Sales Navigator as a separate feature from classic LinkedIn Messaging. On /sales/inbox/..., a dedicated content script injects Voice to Text and an AGNURA AI menu (Write Reply, Rewrite Message, Select Template). It never sends InMail for you.

Prerequisites

• Desktop Chrome, signed into LinkedIn / Sales Navigator in the same profile as AGNURA
• AGNURA installed; Activate LinkedIn on (Settings → General)
• Signed in to AGNURA with AI credits remaining
• Non-empty LinkedIn reply prompt (Settings → LinkedIn Prompts)
• Optional: Knowledge base in General settings
• A Sales Navigator conversation open with the compose textarea visible (Type your message here…)

Refresh the Sales Navigator tab after changing Activate LinkedIn if the controls do not appear.

Direct answer

1. Open a conversation in Sales Navigator inbox.
2. Click the AGNURA AI icon on the left of the compose actions bar → Write Reply.
3. Confirm Recipient profile (name/headline from the thread header) and Conversation thread loaded.
4. Optional: fill What I want to say.
5. Click Generate, edit the result, then Insert into message.
6. Review in the Sales Nav textarea and click Send yourself.

Exact steps

1. Open Sales Navigator compose

1. Go to LinkedIn Sales Navigator inbox (linkedin.com/sales/inbox/... or an equivalent /sales/ conversation URL).
2. Open the thread so the compose field and Send button are visible.
3. Confirm the left side of the actions bar shows the Voice to Text mic and the AGNURA AI logo (before Attach / Send).

If those controls are missing: confirm you are on a /sales/ URL, Activate LinkedIn is on, and the tab was refreshed after install. See AGNURA Not Showing or Not Generating.

Expected result: AGNURA controls appear on the Sales Nav actions bar.

2. Open Write Reply

1. Click the AGNURA AI icon.
2. Choose Write Reply.
3. Wait for the modal fields to populate.

Nothing is sent to managed AI until you click Generate inside the modal.

3. Confirm header and thread context

Field	Role on Sales Nav
Reply prompt	Standing instructions from LinkedIn Prompts
Recipient profile	Name and headline from the thread header (lead URL when present)
Conversation thread	InMail / message articles from the open conversation
What I want to say	Optional one-run angle for this reply

Sales Nav profile context is thinner than classic Messaging. This script does not open classic /in/ profile pages for Voyager enrichment. Edit the profile or thread fields if something important is missing.

Expected result: Enough context to generate, or you have edited the fields yourself.

4. Generate, insert, send

1. Click Generate.
2. Edit the Generated message.
3. Click Insert into message (or Copy).
4. Review the text in the Sales Nav textarea.
5. Click LinkedIn’s Send yourself.

What the AI receives

Managed AI receives (sent to app.agnura.com; 1 credit):

1. Your LinkedIn reply prompt
2. Optional What I want to say
3. Shared knowledge base (if set)
4. Recipient header summary
5. Conversation thread (or empty for a new chat)

It does not get your full Sales Navigator CRM, lead lists, or account notes outside the open thread UI.

Common mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Looking for classic Messaging footer buttons on /sales/	Use the Sales Nav AGNURA menu on the actions bar
Expecting full /in/ About/Experience enrichment	SN Write Reply uses header + thread; open classic Messaging or a profile for deeper context
Using Rewrite when you need thread context	Rewrite is draft-only; use Write Reply for thread-aware drafts
Assuming AGNURA sends InMail	Insert only; you click Send

Checklist

• You are on a Sales Navigator conversation with compose open
• Activate LinkedIn is on; AGNURA controls show on the left of the actions bar
• Reply prompt and AGNURA credits are saved
• You reviewed profile/thread (or edited them) before Generate
• You will click Sales Nav Send yourself

How this relates to AGNURA

Capability	AGNURA on Sales Nav
Write Reply from open InMail thread	Yes
Separate script from classic Messaging	Yes (linkedin-sales-nav-compose.js)
Auto-send InMail	No
Full Voyager /in/ redirect from SN script	No

Differentiation	Why it matters
Human insert/send	You stay accountable for outreach
Surface-specific injection	Sales Nav DOM differs from classic Messaging; separate code avoids breaking either
