LinkedIn Group Messaging Limits and Tips

By

linkedin-group-messaging christine-hueber christinehueber.comOne of the advantages of belonging to a LinkedIn Group used to be LinkedIn Group messaging.

However, there are now limits to LinkedIn Group messaging…here are the details:

1. You can send 15 free messages from within LinkedIn Groups to fellow group members each month.

NOTE: This limit includes messages sent directly from a group to your 1st degree LinkedIn connections.

BONUS TIP:  Message your connections from your LinkedIn Inbox or their LinkedIn Profile so you can use your limited messages for LinkedIn members with whom you’re not yet connected.

* If you go over the limit, you’ll see an error message until the next month begins.

* Unsent messages don’t carry over to the next month.

* Only the original LinkedIn Group message is counted toward the limit. Any back-and-forth replies from either party won’t count toward the 15 message allotment.

* To send more messages you need to upgrade to Premium.

2. You have to be a member of the LinkedIn Group for at least 4 days.

3. You have to be a member of LinkedIn for at least 30 days in order to send messages to fellow LinkedIn Group members.

  2. Thank you for this information about LinkedIn groups. I ran into a problem a couple of months ago when trying to connect with other group members.

    Just for clarification. Is it 15 messages per group you are a member of, or is it 15 messages for all of the groups you are a part of?

    • Thanks for your comment, Cindy.

      Group members can choose not to accept messages from other group members…that might have been what you experienced.

      To clarify, it’s 15 messages for all your groups.

  3. Hi Christine!

    Is there a limit if you have a premium account?

    Thanks,

    Rusty

    • Thanks for your comment, Rusty.

      You can use InMail messaging with a Premium account.

  4. I want to send a group message but I do not want to recipients to be able to see that others have received the message or be able to see the reply of someone else… how do I do this or is there no other way than to send them individually?

    • Thanks for your comment, Decklin.

      With the new LinkedIn messaging, that no longer seems possible.

      Do you find that group messages work well for you?

      Best,
      Christine

  5. Thanks, Christine. Is there still the option to direct email150 connections at a time (irregardless of group membership)?

    • My pleasure, Patricia, and thanks for your comment.

      You can still message multiple contacts, yes…but it can very easily flag you as a spammer and get your account restricted.

      I hope that helps!

      Best,
      Christine
