message send

Send a message to a LinkedIn connection.

bash

linkedin message send <person-url> <text>

`person-url`	conditional	LinkedIn profile URL of the recipient. Optional when `--thread-id` is provided
`text`	yes	Message text (up to 1900 characters)

Flag	Type	Description
`--thread-id`	string	Reply into an existing conversation thread instead of passing `person-url`
`--manage`	string	Manage the conversation right after sending, acting on the same thread. One of `archive`, `unarchive`, `star`, `unstar`, `mute`, `unmute`

bash

message get

Get conversation messages with a LinkedIn person.

bash

linkedin message get <person-url> [flags]

Arg	Required	Description
`person-url`	yes	LinkedIn profile URL

Flag	Type	Description
`--since`	string	Only retrieve messages since this ISO timestamp

The first call for a conversation triggers a background sync, which may take longer. Subsequent calls use cached data and are faster.

bash

linkedin message manage 2-abc123... archive
linkedin message manage 2-abc123... unmute

linkedin inbox sync --nv    # Sales Navigator inbox
