# Send LinkedIn InMail Async

> Send a LinkedIn InMail asynchronously. Results are delivered via callback.

<Card title="Free with Engagement Mode" icon="gem" href="/v1/identities/engagement" arrow="false" horizontal>
  No credits required when executed with an Engagement Identity. Set type: "engagement" when creating an Identity via API.
</Card>

<Tip>
  To run LinkedIn actions, you must first create an identity and connect a LinkedIn
  account, either using our [Chrome
  Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/edges-labs/bippgnolleoecnhaninlfmdapbakklpf),
  [username/password login](/v1/api/linkedin/authentication), or [Managed
  Accounts](/v1/identities/sync-vs-managed) for a hassle-free setup.
</Tip>

<Note>
  **Callback Delivery**: Both `async` and `schedule` modes deliver results via the callback URL provided in your request.

  **Consistent Format**: All execution modes use the same action logic, so inputs and results are identical regardless of mode.

  **Error Handling**: Errors follow the [standard API error format](/v1/faq-troubleshooting#troubleshooting-errors).
</Note>

Using `async` and `schedule` modes, you have to implement some kind of callback management. Be sure to check the [Managing Callbacks](/v1/runs/callbacks) guide to better understand how it works and what your can do.

## Video and Audio Format

* Audio files are automatically sent as **voice messages** when using the following formats: `m4a`, `mp3`, `wav`, `flac`
* Video files are automatically sent as **video messages** when using the following formats: `avi`, `mp4`
* **File size limit** remains unchanged: maximum \~27 MB per attachment (based on Base64 payload size).
* Unsupported formats and any attached files continue to be sent as standard file attachments.
