Open Profile
A Premium setting that lets anyone on LinkedIn message the person for free, without a connection or an InMail credit.
Open Profile is a LinkedIn account setting, while a tool's supported sending modes are a separate capability. Check both before promising a no-credit message. LinkedBoost's reviewed send_inmail operation requires an eligible premium seat; the glossary is not a promise of a free-send mode.
In practice
Check the person's current profile and the selected sender's actual messaging capability before choosing a channel.
What to check
Do not infer a free Open Profile send mode from LinkedBoost's send_inmail tool; the reviewed operation requires a capable premium seat.
