Triage [outreach inbox] for link building, guest posts, PR and partnerships. Filter journalist requests to DR 40+ only. Use my actual Search Console data in draft replies and my rules for price counteroffers. Prepare nudges after 48 hours of silence, two maximum. Never send: leave every draft for me to review and send.

How the agent did it
- The poster gave Grok Bot an outreach inbox and rules for requests, price offers and follow-ups.
- Grok Bot identifies relevant outreach and filters journalist requests to DR 40+ only.
- It pulls real Search Console data into reply drafts and counters offers using the supplied rules.
@antonyalston gave Grok Bot an outreach inbox covering link building, guest posts, PR and partnerships. Rather than asking for generic replies, the poster supplied rules for the kinds of requests to pursue and how to respond.
For journalist requests, the stated filter is DR 40+ only. Grok Bot pulls the poster's real Search Console data for replies and counters price offers according to their rules. These are separate parts of the workflow: the DR threshold applies to journalist requests, not an assertion that the entire inbox contains only journalist email.
Follow-up is bounded as well. The post says the bot nudges after 48 hours of silence, with two nudges maximum. Sending remains human-controlled: the poster reads every draft and clicks send. The account therefore supports delegated sorting and drafting, not an inbox agent authorised to correspond on its own.
The inbox sequence is quoted exactly as “469 → 129→ 0”, reported by the poster. The post does not explain what happened to each message or establish reply quality, backlink gains or revenue. The concrete account is a rules-based outreach workflow with access to the poster's data and an explicit approval boundary.
