/v1/actions/salesnavigator-inmail-profile/run/liveSend Sales Navigator InMail sends an InMail to a target profile from your Sales Navigator inbox and returns the delivery metadata so you can track it downstream. You get programmatic control over premium reach — no manual inbox work, no copy-paste between sheets and Sales Navigator.
This action runs on the Sales Navigator level and targets sales and recruiting teams who use InMail as a first-touch channel against out-of-network prospects.
You provide the target profile (URL or URN), a subject, and a message body. Edges signs the request with your authenticated Sales Navigator session, sends the InMail, and returns the delivery receipt along with the conversation thread ID so you can extract replies later.
Rate limits and InMail credit accounting are handled server-side — Edges respects Sales Navigator's pacing so you don't trip guardrails. The action can run live for per-lead triggers or async as part of a larger outreach batch.
Reach for Send Sales Navigator InMail when you need to contact someone out of your network and a classic connection request won't clear the threshold — senior titles, gated geographies, cold ABM accounts. It plugs into the LinkedIn messaging & outreach API use case as the premium-reach primitive.
It also works well as a fallback step in a cadence: try connection first, fall back to InMail if the invite goes stale.
Send Sales Navigator InMail is a per-recipient primitive — one InMail per call. For a batch, loop the action over your lead list and let Edges handle pacing between sends.
Your own seat. Every InMail is sent through your connected Sales Navigator session, debits your credit pool, and appears in your inbox — so attribution and audit trail stay intact.
Yes. A common chain is Search Sales Navigator People → Extract LinkedIn Profile → Send Sales Navigator InMail → Extract LinkedIn Conversations for reply tracking.
