Common questions

What is comment-to-DM on LinkedIn?

You publish a post and ask people to comment one word. Everyone who comments it gets a direct message with the thing you promised, and a public reply under their comment. On LinkedIn it needs one extra step Instagram does not: people outside your network cannot be messaged until they connect.

Is there a ManyChat for LinkedIn?

ManyChat does not support LinkedIn and has not announced plans to, because LinkedIn publishes no public messaging API. Purpose-built tools do the same job by working with your account directly.

Is LinkedIn comment-to-DM safe?

It is structurally safer than cold outreach, because you only message people who just interacted with your own post and the volume is capped by how many commented. Pace and message variation still matter.

Do I need LinkedIn Premium?

No. Premium and Sales Navigator buy search, InMail credits and profile views, none of which comment-to-DM uses.
