Edit an InMail message in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite

Last updated: 1 year ago

InMail messages in LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn Recruiter Lite are private messages that allow you to contact anyone on LinkedIn without an introduction or contact information. If you’ve sent a candidate an InMail message and you want to edit the message, you can do so from your inbox even if the message has been seen or if the candidate has replied.

To edit an InMail message in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite:

  1. Click the  Messages icon at the top of your homepage.

  2. Navigate to the message you want to edit.

  3. Click the  Edit icon in the top right corner of the message and make any changes.

  4. Click Save.

Notes

  • When you edit a message, you and the recipient will see that the message has been edited anywhere where the initial message would exist, including in your inbox and on the Message tab of a candidate’s profile.
  • You can save or discard edits, and you can make unlimited edits. 
  • You can’t edit a message in an Assigned Inbox or if the message was sent as an email.
  • Members can report a conversation with edited messages, and LinkedIn will see and be able to act on such messages.
  • The candidate won’t receive a second notification when a message has been edited.
  • You can’t edit a message on the Recruiter mobile app at this time.
  • Edited messages are included in the InMail Compliance Report.
