Reply to editors from Claude

A pitch only turns into a link when someone answers the editor quickly and makes the change easy: which section, what anchor text, a sentence they can paste.

BacklinkGenie sorts replies into hot, warm, paid offer, neutral and cold, and drafts the next message for the interested ones. Your assistant can show you who needs an answer and put the draft in front of you in seconds.

The prompt

Prompt for Claude

Which editors replied and still need an answer? Summarise each in one line. For the ones who said yes, draft a reply with the exact section, anchor text and a sentence they can paste.

What happens

1

See who answered

list_replies filters by status: hot (said yes), warm (interested), paid (asked for money), neutral, cold or closed.
2

Read the thread

get_conversation returns the full exchange, so the reply stays consistent with what was already said.
3

Draft and send

generate_reply writes the next message but doesn't send it. send_reply sends text you've confirmed, after the quality check.

Used list_replies Used get_conversation Used generate_reply

3 replies need an answer. makeuseof.com: yes, asked where it should go. nesslabs.com: yes, wants a screenshot. g2.com: asked for a fee. Drafts for the first two are below, with the section and the sentence to paste. Want me to send them?

Example with fictional product Margin.

Tips

Ask for a one-line summary of each reply before reading full threads.
For paid-link requests, ask for a polite decline that offers a free account or an expert quote instead. Offering payment fails the quality check.
Answer hot replies the same day. Editors move on.

Same rules as the dashboard

Claude works on the same account, sites and mailboxes as the BacklinkGenie dashboard. Pitches wait for approval unless you've turned on Autopilot, every edit goes through the quality check, and sending stays inside each mailbox's daily limit. See how BacklinkGenie works or compare plans.

Questions people ask

Does BacklinkGenie send replies automatically?

No. Replies are drafted automatically for interested editors, but nothing is sent until you, or your assistant with your go-ahead, call send_reply.

What about editors who ask for payment?

They're marked as a paid offer. We don't buy links, and any reply that offers payment is rejected by the quality check. A polite no with a free alternative often still gets the link.

Do I need an API key to use BacklinkGenie from Claude?

No. In Claude you add BacklinkGenie with its URL and sign in. MCP access is on the Growth and Agency plans.
