How to Send InMails with Dripify

As of July 2026, Dripify no longer supports the Basic LinkedIn InMail action due to changes LinkedIn made to the number of InMails that can be sent without a Premium subscription. To provide a more effective and scalable alternative, Dripify now supports Sales Navigator InMails.

Sales Navigator InMail is a sequence action that allows you to send InMails through your LinkedIn Sales Navigator account.

Unlike regular LinkedIn messages, Sales Navigator InMails can be sent to people outside your network, even if they don't have Open Profiles.

To use the Sales Navigator InMail action in Dripify, you need to have an active Sales Navigator contract connected to your Dripify account.

LinkedIn provides Sales Navigator users with a monthly allocation of InMail credits.

Here’s how they work:

The actual number of InMails you can send to people who don't have Open Profiles depends on your available InMail credit balance. Once you run out of credits, you can no longer send InMails to these recipients, either manually in Sales Navigator or through Dripify.

You can still send InMails to Open Profiles, as these don't consume InMail credits.

First, make sure your Sales Navigator contract is connected to Dripify. You can connect it in the Account section of your settings.

When creating or editing a campaign sequence:

2. Create your InMail message.

You can also use A/B testing to test different versions of your Sales Navigator InMail and see which one performs best. Click Run A/B test on the InMail action to create another variant. You can test up to 3 variants per action, and Dripify will automatically distribute leads between the enabled variants.

For more details on setting up variants, managing them, and reviewing their performance, check out this guide.

3. Add the next actions you want to perform after the InMail.

After each Sales Navigator InMail action, Dripify automatically creates two branches based on the lead's response:

You can add additional actions to either branch and multiple Sales Navigator InMail actions to the same sequence, allowing you to continue building the sequence based on how leads respond.

Dripify displays step-level analytics for each Sales Navigator InMail action directly on the sequence timeline.

For each InMail step, you can see:

This allows you to compare the performance of individual InMail actions and see which steps in your sequence generate the most responses.

Dripify now tracks replies to Sales Navigator InMails during your account's working hours.

When a reply is detected, the lead is automatically paused in all campaigns they are in, just like when they reply to a regular LinkedIn message or email. This prevents them from proceeding through any active sequences.

You can review the reply directly in your Sales Navigator inbox. Sales Navigator InMail replies aren't currently displayed in Dripify, as there’s no dedicated Sales Navigator inbox yet.

If you decide to continue outreach to the lead, you can resume them in Dripify from the Lead profile card.

This resumes the lead across all campaigns they are in, allowing them to continue moving through their sequences.

For campaigns created before this update, the Sales Navigator InMail action was automatically followed by an End of Sequence step. This meant you couldn't add any further actions after the InMail.

Now you can edit an existing campaign and remove the End of Sequence step. Dripify will then add Replied and Didn't reply branches after the InMail, allowing you to add more actions to either branch and continue building the sequence.
