# Replies on LinkedIn

**In short:** replying on LinkedIn works the same way as Twitter, with one difference: VoiceMoat cannot post comments on LinkedIn for you, so you draft a reply in your voice, copy it, and paste it as your comment.

Open **Replies** on a LinkedIn profile and you will see the LinkedIn reply grid. (There is no Extension tab here; the extension's LinkedIn role is harvesting, not posting.)

### How it works

1. VoiceMoat surfaces LinkedIn posts worth replying to.
2. Pick a **tone** and audenAI drafts **one** comment in your LinkedIn voice.
3. **Copy** the draft and **paste** it as your comment on LinkedIn.
4. Confirm you commented, which ticks your reply budget.

{% hint style="warning" %}
LinkedIn does not allow tools to post comments on a member's behalf, so this step is manual by necessity. audenAI writes the comment; you paste it. There is no way around this that stays within LinkedIn's rules.
{% endhint %}

### Tones

The LinkedIn reply grid offers 9 tones plus a per-post custom angle: Thoughtful, Agree and Build, Respectful Pushback, Contrarian, Witty, Question, Concise, Story, and a random pick. The more casual Twitter-only tones (Roast, Chill) are not offered, since they rarely fit LinkedIn.

### Where candidates come from

LinkedIn posts to reply to come from:

* the **creators you track**, and
* a shared pool built from your **home feed**, harvested by the Chrome extension.

So the extension is what keeps your LinkedIn reply grid stocked. Without it, you can still reply to tracked creators, but the home-feed pool will be thin.

### Limits

LinkedIn replies use the same caps as Twitter (the overall reply limit and the Engage budget). See the table in Replies and Engage. Free plans cannot reply.

### Common questions

**Why can't VoiceMoat just post my LinkedIn comment?** LinkedIn's rules do not permit posting comments through a tool. Drafting and pasting keeps you compliant and keeps your account safe.

**Do I need the extension to reply on LinkedIn?** You can reply to tracked creators without it, but the home-feed candidate pool is filled by the extension, so it is strongly recommended. See Chrome extension.

**Is the LinkedIn voice different from my Twitter voice?** Yes. Each profile trains its own voice, so LinkedIn replies sound like your LinkedIn writing, not your Twitter writing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.voicemoat.com/engaging/replies-on-linkedin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
