Engagement

Canopy → Engagement is where you handle everything that happens after a post goes live — comments, target-account activity, and auto-reply drafting.

Three tabs:

Inbox — comments on your published posts.
Feeds — target accounts whose new posts you want to see (or comment on) early.
Auto-reply — AI-drafted replies to incoming comments.

Inbox

Every comment on every post you’ve published lands here, newest first.

Each comment row shows:

Commenter — name, headline, avatar, profile link.
Comment text — full text.
On post — the first line of your post they commented on.
Replied? — green check if you’ve replied (here or on linkedin.com).
Reaction — the emoji you’ve reacted with (if any).

Replying

Click any comment → composer opens at the bottom. Type and Send. Your reply posts to LinkedIn within seconds and appears as your reply on the original thread.

You can also react instead of replying — hover and pick an emoji. Useful for quick acknowledgements.

AI draft

Click the ✨ Draft button on any comment to generate a reply with Claude. The draft considers:

The comment text.
The post they’re commenting on.
Your tone (from past replies).

The draft loads into the composer; review, edit, send. Drafts cost 1 AI credit.

Feeds

Target accounts whose posts you want surfaced. Useful for:

Early commenting — being one of the first 5 commenters on a big creator’s post is a known LinkedIn growth trick.
Competitive monitoring — see what your category leaders post.
Industry signals — track key accounts that move markets in your niche.

Adding an account

Engagement → Feeds → Add account → paste a LinkedIn profile URL. Canopy verifies the URL, fetches the public profile, and starts polling for new posts every ~15 minutes.

What you see

A reverse-chronological feed of every post by every account you’ve added. For each post:

Author + headline.
Post body.
Stats (live: likes / comments / shares).
First-N indicator — “You’d be the 12th commenter” — so you can tell if it’s still early enough to matter.
Comment button — opens an inline composer to comment directly, without leaving Canopy.

Auto-reply

The Auto-reply tab is where you configure (and review) AI-drafted replies to incoming comments on your posts.

Setup

Toggle Auto-reply: on. Pick a mode:

suggest — AI drafts a reply for every incoming comment; drafts queue in the Inbox tab for you to review/send.
auto_send — drafts go through after a delay (default 60s); you can cancel during the window.

Configure:

Tone notes — free text. “Casual, founder voice. Always thank by name.”
Daily cap — max auto-replies per day per account (default 50).
Skip if comment is shorter than N chars — default 5 (”👍”, “ok”).

How it works

When a new comment arrives:

Eligibility checks (mode, daily cap, length).
Build context: the comment, the post, your tone notes, last 5 replies you’ve sent (style anchor).
Generate a draft with Claude.
Quality gate: minimum length, no placeholders left.
suggest → draft queues in Inbox tab. auto_send → schedules with auto_send_delay_seconds countdown.

You can cancel any auto-send before it fires. After firing, the reply is on LinkedIn and not retractable from Canopy.

Activity log

The Auto-reply tab shows the last 100 events: drafts, sends, cancels, skipped (with reason). Useful for tuning the tone notes when you notice patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Why don’t I see comments on a recently-published post?

LinkedIn’s webhook for comments is best-effort with a few-minute lag. Wait 5 minutes, then Sync now on the Engagement page to force a fetch.

Can Canopy reply to comments on someone else’s post (not mine)?

Not via Auto-reply — that mode is scoped to your posts. To engage on others’ posts, use Feeds (manual commenting) or LinkedIn directly.

Does Auto-reply count as the Reply Agent?

No. Outpilot’s Reply Agent handles LinkedIn DMs (private messages). Canopy’s Auto-reply handles comments on your published Canopy posts. Different surfaces, similar mechanism.
