Approvals from chat
You can also handle approvals in the in-app chat. Ask "what's waiting for me?" and approve or skip directly from the conversation — useful when you're triaging from your phone.
Approvals and the inbox
Review outreach before it leaves, and manage every conversation in one place.
Why approvals exist
Autonomous doesn't mean unsupervised. Outreach sent in your name affects your reputation, so BacklinkGPT is built around a simple rule: you decide how much the agent does on its own.
Approval modes
- Auto-send — the agent sends outreach as soon as it's drafted. Best once you trust the quality and want volume.
- Approve first — every email waits for your sign-off. Best in your first weeks, or for sensitive niches.
Companies you marked ask-me-first always require approval, regardless of the global mode — that pin can't be overridden by automation. See contact policies.
Reviewing a draft
Each pending draft shows the prospect, why the agent picked them, the email it wrote, and the link opportunity behind it. From there you can:
- Approve — the email goes out as-is.
- Edit, then approve — tweak the draft; the agent learns from your edits.
- Skip — reject the prospect. Tell the agent why (wrong fit, bad timing, never contact) and it adjusts future hunts.
The inbox
Replies from prospects land in the inbox alongside the agent's classification:
- Interested — the agent suggests a follow-up and, once you have the link, verifies it's live.
- Needs info — the agent drafts an answer using your product context; you approve it like any other outreach.
- Declined — the thread is closed politely and the domain is remembered so you don't ask again next quarter.
Nothing is ever auto-deleted. Every thread, draft, and decision stays auditable in the run history.
