nv_send_message
Send direct messages to LinkedIn Sales Navigator contacts, either starting a new conversation or replying to an existing thread by providing a person URL or thread ID.
Instructions
Allows you to send a message to a person in Sales Navigator (nv.sendMessage action). Provide either personUrl or threadId (threadId replies into an existing conversation thread and takes precedence). If this workflow is still running, do not retry this tool; retrying can send duplicate Sales Navigator messages to the same person.
Linked API actions are queued into a cloud-browser workflow and may take several minutes. The server returns immediately after starting the workflow with {status: 'pending'|'running', pendingReason, workflowId, operationName, message}. To retrieve the final result, call get_workflow_result with the returned workflowId and operationName — it will long-poll until completion or the request budget elapses, then return either the final result or another in-progress snapshot. Do not retry the original tool while a workflow is still running; that creates duplicate queued work.
A pending workflow carries pendingReason: 'queued' means it is waiting its turn behind other work on the same account and will start within minutes. 'outsideWorkingHours' means the account has configured working hours and the workflow is parked until they reopen — possibly the next working day. In that case get_workflow_result returns immediately instead of polling, message states when the window opens, and you should report that to the user rather than looping.
