# Can I send LinkedIn messages in bulk?
> Not in a way LinkedIn blesses for cold outreach. Identical blasts look like spam, burn reply rates, and can restrict the account. Sequence a small list with gaps instead.

There is no official "select 500 connections and mail merge" for cold sales on the consumer product. Tools that do it are unofficial automation. Recipients can tell when 200 people got the same paragraph at 9:01.

Even to 1st-degree connections, a blast can get marked as spam and hurt the account. LinkedIn is still watching volume and reports, not only whether you are connected.

The workable version of bulk is a campaign: a defined segment, a template with one real first line, daily caps, and pauses on reply. That is paced sending, not a dump.

If you need an announcement to customers, use email they opted into, or a company page post. LinkedIn DMs are a conversation surface.

Omentir runs connection requests, messages, and follow-ups from your profile with limits you set. It will not make a 2,000-line identical DM a good idea.

## Frequently asked questions

**What about LinkedIn's own bulk invite from CSV?**

Contact imports and "people you may know" flows are not a cold TAM upload. Using them as one is how you import a mess and a restriction.

**Can I BCC people in LinkedIn?**

LinkedIn is not email. There is no BCC for DMs. Group chats are for groups of people who expect to be together.

**Is InMail better for bulk?**

Credits run out and spam marks still count. Bulk InMail is an expensive way to get restricted.

**How small should a batch be?**

Small enough that you could read every first line. If you cannot, it is too big for one day.
