Workflow Action - Separate Messages and InMail Actions

Messages and InMail now have separate workflow actions for clearer setup and better tracking.

— Daniel Marr

LinkedIn messages and InMail now have their own dedicated actions instead of sharing one.

What changed:

Previously, a single "Send Message" action handled both regular messages and InMail, which made it unclear which fields applied to which communication type. Now each has its own action with a simplified field set.

What each action does:

  • Send A Message — Send direct messages to existing LinkedIn connections. Configure message content and delivery timing.
  • Send InMail Message — Send premium InMail outreach using LinkedIn's InMail feature. Simplified setup with only InMail-relevant fields.

Workflow logs now distinguish between "Message Sent" and "InMail Sent" events, so you can easily track which communication type was executed.

Why it matters:

Reduces configuration errors by hiding irrelevant fields. Makes debugging simpler—you can see exactly which action ran and why. Clearer logs mean better monitoring and reporting.

What you need to do:

If you have existing workflows using InMail, replace the old "Send Message" action with the new "Send InMail Message" action. Search your workflows for InMail to find any that need updating.
