Why did we create Inbox Waalaxy?
If you manage more than 10 messages a day on LinkedIn: you already know why. 😜
Test the Waalaxy Inbox 💌Once upon a time, Waalaxy was a particularly effective LinkedIn automation tool. Used properly, it dropped dozens and dozens of qualified leads into our LinkedIn messaging inboxes every day .
But the LinkedIn messaging system wasn’t cut out to take on such an army. So, faced with this buggy interface, the solution was quickly found! (Or the question quickly answered, it’s up to you).

Why use Waalaxy Inbox?
At first glance, you might ask: what doesInbox Waalaxy add to LinkedIn messaging?
After all, the purpose of messaging is to reply to messages. And LinkedIn ‘s does just that…
Yes, but…
We’re not talking about chatting with your girlfriend or setting up a Messenger group with your buddies for your next vacation.
LinkedIn is mainly known for recruiting and lead generation, which is not the same thing as sending « I’m off to work, I’ll pick up some bread » to his or her wife or husband before leaving work.
Managing dozens of LinkedIn messages a day is both time-consuming and frustrating:
- The interface is not very user-friendly,
- The messaging system is riddled with bugs,
- It doesn’t integrate any functionalities other than replying to messages. And yet…
But the problem goes much further.
Limited functionality
When you’re managing more than 10 messages a day, it can get pretty messy.
You need to know who to remind and when.
It’s impossible to organize or sort your conversations: everything is arranged by date, with no other option.
You have to remember previous conversations or pull up your messages.
To retrieve the prospect’s information, open their profile, wait for the page to load, then click on « » .
80% of prospects ask 20% of questions. Questions you’ve already answered at least once. Answers you haven’t kept. Or that you’ve kept in a non-personalized Google Sheets. Finding the document in question, copying the answer, pasting it and sending it takes 10 to 15 seconds. Which, multiplied by the number of conversations per day and the number of days per year, means you’re wasting time that we won’t calculate here, at the risk of scaring you.
Once you’ve replied to the first 20 unread messages, you’ll have to reload the page to display the others (yes, I assure you, you can test this for yourself).
Each reply brings the conversation to the top. So you have to go back down each time to reply to the next messages. 😅
As soon as a prospect replies that they’re interested, you need to update your CRM manually.
To schedule an event on Zoom, Hangout or Calendly, you need to open the page, fill in the form, enter the date and invite the person.
Finally, if you manage several LinkedIn accounts, you need to connect to each of them to manage your messages.
How about stopping this massacre? 😅

Schedule reminder messages
You contact Jacques. You plan to call him back in 5 days. It’s a bit of a pain to set a reminder on your phone to send Jacques a message in 5 days’ time. Not to mention that, in the meantime, the conversation will drown in the ocean of your LinkedIn messaging system.
