Step 1: Open Watchlist
Go to Watchlists → select a watchlist → open Automated Rules from the right side → click Set rules. Automated rules are always tied to a watchlist. This means engagement only happens on posts that are in a watchlist where rule is added.
Choose the automation type
Here you decide who performs the engagement and what action is taken.Engage from a personal account
- Like from user – Likes posts from your personal or team member’s LinkedIn account
- Comment from user – Comments on posts from your personal or team member’s account
- Like and comment from user – Performs both actions from a personal account
Engage from a company page
- Like from company – Likes posts from your company’s LinkedIn page
- Comment from company – Comments using your company page
- Like and comment from company – Performs both actions from the company page

Step 2: Create Automation Rule
This step defines how the automation behaves.Rule Title
Give the rule a clear name so you know what it does. Examples:- Like hiring posts
- Comment on founder updates
- Engage with product mentions
Select Team Member
Choose which team member’s LinkedIn account will be used for engagement (only applicable for personal account actions).Choose Actions
Select what OutX.ai should do:- Like
- Comment
- Like and comment
Custom Instructions (Very Important)
Add simple guidance for how likes or comments should behave. Examples:- “Keep comments friendly and short”
- “Acknowledge the update without selling”
- “Congratulate and ask a light follow-up question”
Optional Controls
You can further fine-tune the rule if needed:- Profile exclusions – Skip engagement on specific profiles
- Employee level – Engage only with posts from certain seniority levels
- What to track – Choose which updates trigger engagement:
- Posts by people
- Posts by companies
- Job updates
- Birthdays
