Documentation
Everything you need to get started with Inmails.
Quick Start
Get up and running in under 5 minutes:
- Download Inmails for your platform (Mac or Windows)
- Run the installer and open the app
- Create your account and start your free trial
- Log into your LinkedIn account inside the app
- Import your leads (CSV or Google Sheets)

Installation
macOS: Download the .dmg file and drag Inmails to your Applications folder. Requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later.
Windows: Download the .exe installer and follow the setup wizard. Requires Windows 10 64-bit or later.
The app will auto-update when new versions are available. You can also check for updates manually from the app menu.
LinkedIn Login
Inmails includes a built-in browser where you log into LinkedIn normally. Your session stays entirely on your local machine — no credentials are sent to any server.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled on LinkedIn, you will be prompted as usual. The app supports all standard LinkedIn authentication flows.
Importing Leads
You can import leads in two ways:
CSV Upload: Drag and drop a CSV file or use the file picker. The app will auto-detect column names. Required columns: LinkedIn URL or profile identifier, first name.
Google Sheets: Connect your Google account via OAuth and select a spreadsheet. Changes sync automatically — add new rows to your sheet and they'll appear in your campaign.
Sending Messages
Create a campaign with one or more message variants for A/B testing. Use merge fields like {{firstName}} to personalise each message.
The app sends messages with human-mimicking behaviour: natural typing speed, realistic mouse movements, and random delays between actions. Each message is typed character-by-character, not pasted.
Scheduling
Set sending windows to control when messages go out. Configure business hours, time zones, and daily limits. The app uses a sliding 24-hour window for limits — not a midnight reset.
Smart scheduling distributes sends across your configured windows with natural variation, so your activity pattern looks organic.
Safety & Limits
Inmails is designed to be the safest LinkedIn automation tool available:
- Local execution — runs on your machine, your IP, your browser fingerprint
- No injection — no JavaScript injected into LinkedIn pages
- Adaptive limits — automatic rate-limit detection with exponential backoff
- Daily variation — randomised limits (±10%) to avoid pattern detection
- Human timing — Gaussian distribution on all delays, not fixed intervals
