# Delete sent LinkedIn message

Automatically delete sent LinkedIn message on linkedin.com. Permanently delete one of the logged-in member's own sent messages in a classic LinkedIn messaging thread (NOT Sales Navigator), by thread URL from list_inbox. Deletes your most recent message by default, or the one message containing `match`; when several of your messages contain it, nothing is deleted and status is ambiguous with the candidates listed. The message is deleted for all participants and replaced with a "This message has been deleted" placeholder. Returns status (deleted/not_found/not_deletable/ambiguous) and the deleted text.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/linkedin.com/delete_message`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/linkedin.com/delete_message
```

## Input

- `threadUrl` (string, required): URL of the conversation thread, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/thread/<id>/ (from list_inbox)
- `match` (string, optional): Optional substring of the message text to pick which of your own messages to delete. Defaults to your most recent message in the thread. Must match exactly one of your messages; if several match, nothing is deleted and status is ambiguous.

## Output

- `status` (string, required): deleted = removed; not_found = no own (non-already-deleted) message matching `match` in the loaded thread; not_deletable = a matching message was found but LinkedIn's per-message menu doesn't offer Delete for it (observed on older messages); ambiguous = several of your messages contain `match`, nothing was deleted — pass a longer `match` (see candidates)
- `threadUrl` (string, required)
- `deletedText` (string | null, required): The message text that was deleted (null unless status=deleted)
- `candidates` (array, optional): Only when status=ambiguous: the texts of your messages that contain `match`.
