Send an InMail message to LinkedIn Profile

POST /api/v1/send_inmail_message

This API allows the authenticated user to send an InMail message to a specific LinkedIn profile by providing the recipient's profile ID, the sender's 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.

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