InMail

What is InMail?

LinkedIn users often use the term InMail for professional networking and communication. Users send private messages via the platform's messaging system. InMail lets LinkedIn users contact non-connected or outside-of-network people.

InMail messages may be used to contact job seekers, network with industry colleagues, or form commercial collaborations. InMail provides more professional and official contact channels for business talks, introductions, and queries than social networking.

LinkedIn gives members a limited amount of InMail credits per month depending on their subscription level to send messages to non-network contacts. This tool enables users network with industry peers. InMail communications are more tailored and effective than connection requests or public remarks, allowing professional collaboration.

Why use InMail?  

InMail is used for professional networking and communication. It allows one to connect with people outside one's network on LinkedIn directly and personally. InMail is used to contact job seekers, establish business partnerships, network with industry leaders, seek mentoring, and explore career options.

InMail provides privacy since messages are not accessible to the public or mutual connections until the receiver accepts them. It also lets users send customized messages based on the recipient's profile and hobbies. InMail also streamlines professional engagement and relationship-building by eliminating the need for email or phone calls.
