InMail is a LinkedIn premium messaging feature that allows users to send direct messages to people they’re not connected with on the platform.

It’s commonly used in sales outreach, recruiting, and business development to reach prospects outside your network.

InMail vs. regular LinkedIn message:

• Messages can only be sent to the 1st-degree connections.
• LinkedIn InMails bypass that limitation and are available to users with LinkedIn Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter accounts.
