Why can't I message certain LinkedIn connections from bulk selection?
At LeadDelta, we strive to make managing your LinkedIn connections easier and more efficient. However, you may notice that some of your LinkedIn connections can’t be messaged from the bulk selection feature in LeadDelta. Don’t worry—there are logical reasons for this limitation. Here’s an overview of why this happens and how you can work around it.
LinkedIn’s messaging feature is designed for first-degree connections only. If a connection is second or third-degree, LinkedIn restricts direct messaging unless you use InMail or other LinkedIn Premium features.
Solution:
Verify if the person is a first-degree connection by checking their profile on LinkedIn.
For non-first-degree connections, consider sending a connection request first.
Solution 2:
Apply Filter
Section: Auto-tag
Apply Tag: "LinkedIn-1st"
