Send a message to a LinkedIn Group Member

POST /api/v1/send_message_to_group_member

This API allows the authenticated user to send a message to an existing LinkedIn message thread by providing the thread ID, their own profile ID, and the message content.

The profile_id is a unique identifier used by LinkedIn to distinguish individual user profiles. On WeLink, you can obtain the profile_id by calling the /api/v1/get_profile_details API. In the response of this API, the field profile_id is provided. This value should be used as the profile_id when making requests to other WeLink APIs that require a LinkedIn profile reference. The group_id parameter should be the group ID.

To track whether your message receives a reply, see How to Use Track Reply.
