Schedule your LinkedIn InMails to be sent automatically and at specific times.
Why automate the sending of LinkedIn Inmails?
InMails are the LinkedIn premium messages that can be sent to anyone, even if you’re not connected.
They are especially useful to salespeople, and recruiters that are trying to reach out to people they’re not connected with, and whom they want to be noticed by.
If you have a paying LinkedIn Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiters, you are allowed to a set number of InMails per months; You can also buy some extra credits, but even then, your total amount of InMails will be limited.
| Plan | Default credits (per month) |
| Premium Essentials | 5 |
| Premium Pro/Business | 15 |
| Recruiter Lite | 30 |
| Sales Navigator Core | 50 |
Note that your InMail credits are available for 90 days, after that, they’re lost forever!
Additionally, if you want to automate sending normal LinkedIn messages, take a look at our LinkedIn Auto Message Sender.

FAQ
How do I add a new profile?
To connect your LinkedIn profile and perform this automation, you must:
