Definition
InMail is LinkedIn's premium private messaging feature that lets you contact members outside your network without a connection request. Credits are limited and partially refunded on reply, so relevance and personalization directly affect both response rate and cost-efficiency.
Why it matters
InMail skips the connection step, but the scarcity of credits punishes spray-and-pray — the message has to earn a reply on the first try.
