Send Recruiter InMail
Send one LinkedIn Recruiter InMail (outward action): open a NEW recruiter thread via talent_id (AEMAA… id; ln_id / sn_id work too), or reply INTO an existing thread via linkedin_conversation_sid (messenger_type=‘recruiter’). subject required (≤ 200), text ≤ 1900; rich-text attributes on a NEW thread only. Guards, in order: Recruiter seat (422 recruiter_required); live Recruiter session (409 recruiter_reauth_required: Recruiter has its own 30-day session that only the seat holder renews by signing in to Recruiter again in the account’s browser, so tell the user, do not retry); stamped seat on a reply (422 recruiter_seat_unresolvable); LinkedIn’s one-InMail-per-candidate-per-24h rule (429 recruiter_inmail_cooldown with cooldown_ends_at: refresh the thread with get_my_latest_linkedin_recruiter_messages if a reply may have landed, else wait and explain the rule). Spends send_inmails and an InMail credit. When NOT: basic threads → send_linkedin_message; SN → send_linkedin_sales_nav_message.
Contract:
- MCP tool
send_linkedin_recruiter_message, registry packagemcp.linkedin/linkedin_messages, mountlinkedin.recruiter. - Operation
action, response envelopeaction. - Flags: dangerous: the MCP layer gates it behind a preview/commit token, and the effect cannot be undone through this API.
