When it\u2019s most effective to send InMail messages:<\/p>\n

InMail is useful for contacting leads with high conversion potential when you can\u2019t send regular messages because they\u2019re not part of your LinkedIn network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How to use InMail action in the sequence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The purpose of InMail in the sequence is to contact leads who haven\u2019t accepted your connection request. For those who are already in your LinkedIn network, use a regular Message<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To include an InMail message in your sequence, add a LinkedIn step and select InMail<\/strong> from the LinkedIn actions<\/strong> menu while creating your sequence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll describe a few examples of how to use InMail in your sequences to maximize its value.<\/p>\n

Sequence example #1:<\/strong> View profile \u2192 Follow \u2192 Like \u2192 Send connection request \u2192 Delay (1 day) \u2192
\n\u2192 Condition (Check if connected on LinkedIn) \u2192 Message (Yes) \u2192 InMail (No).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You can place an InMail at any point in your sequence, whether as the starting step or before\/after any other LinkedIn action or step. However, it is most effective to add an InMail after a connection request in the sequence.<\/p>\n

\n

InMail messages can only be sent to prospects who are not in your LinkedIn connections. Use the \"Condition\" element to check if prospects are already in your network before sending an InMail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Add InMail for the \"No\" option (Not connected). Add a Message for the \"Yes\" option (Connected). Creating alternative flows with different contact methods ensures you don't miss a potential response.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, the sequence will work like this:<\/p>\n
