Can I send InMails or messages to OpenLink profiles?

With Dux-Soup, you can send free InMails to OpenLink profiles if you are using a Sales Navigator account.

What is an OpenLink Profile?

This is a recipient-side setting. If a Premium member has enabled "Open Profile," they have explicitly opted into receiving messages from anyone on the platform for free, even though they are not your 1st-degree connection.

When you visit an OpenLink profile, you will see a Message button instead of the Send InMail button - even if the profile is not a 1st-degree connection.

What if a prospect's account is not an OpenLink profile?

You can send InMails if you have InMail credits.

Can I use Premium LinkedIn to send InMails to OpenLink Profiles?

Dux-Soup can recognise OpenLink profiles on Sales Navigator only.

Running InMail OpenLink Profile drip campaigns with Dux-Soup Turbo and Cloud

• Create a campaign in Dux-Soup Turbo or Cloud. 

For example:

• Next, use Sales Navigator to define your list of targets.
• In your Dux-Soup settings, ensure you have the correct skipping rule enabled:  Click on the Dux-Soup icon in your browser and in the ‘Skipping tab’ select “Skip if not an OpenLink member”.

• To Enroll prospects, click on your Dux-Sup icon, select Enroll, and then select your Campaign name. In this example, Dux-Soup will enroll the first 50 people with Open Profiles who have not been enrolled in this campaign before.

• Once you've pressed 'OK', Dux-Soup will start scheduling InMails.
• In the Dux-Dash, go to ‘Queued Activity’, select your campaign and you can see who has been enrolled.

Notes

• Premium InMail message credits can't be used to send InMail messages on Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter.
