This skill writes any text-based LinkedIn message type. Each type has different constraints.
| Message Type | Who Can Receive | Character Limit | When to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection request | 2nd/3rd degree connections | 200 (free) / 300 (premium) | First touch. Must earn the accept. No selling. |
| InMail | Anyone (requires premium credits) | Subject: 200, Body: 1,900 | Standalone pitch to people who won't accept cold connections. Senior execs, busy people. |
| DM | 1st-degree connections only | 8,000 | Follow-ups after connection accepted. Conversational, not broadcast. |
| Message request | Group members, event attendees, #OpenToWork | 8,000 | Warm context — you share a group or event. Reference the shared context. |
| Post comment | Anyone (public posts) | 1,250 | Warm-up before connecting. Show you engaged with their content. Not a pitch. |
