Groups & events
Message LinkedIn group members and event attendees without connecting first
LinkedIn lets members of the same group, and attendees of the same event, message each other directly. ReachPods imports the attendee list or group members and sends each of them a personal message through that shared space, with no connection request, no 300-character note and its own daily limits.

Overview
The warmest cold message on LinkedIn
A message that starts with “I noticed we’re both going to…” isn’t really cold. You share a context, it’s relevant by definition, and it skips the invitation queue entirely. LinkedIn allows it: group members can message fellow members, and event attendees can message fellow attendees, without being connected.
ReachPods turns that into a repeatable play. Import the attendee list of a LinkedIn event or the members of a group your account belongs to, then point a campaign at them with the Message via group / event step. Each lead gets a personal message through the shared group or event, written with variables, spintax or AI.
Group and event messages have their own daily limits per account, separate from invitations and regular messages, so they add reach without eating into your connection budget.
Event attendees
Import LinkedIn event attendees and message them before and after the event
Pick a LinkedIn event and import its attendee list into a lead list. Message attendees before the event to plan a coffee, or after it to follow up on a session. The step uses the shared event, so no invitation is required.
Event follow-up is one of the highest-intent plays in outbound: everyone on the list chose to spend time on your topic.
- Attendee list import
- Message via the shared event
- Before, during or after the event

Group members
Reach LinkedIn group members through the group you share
Import the members of a group your LinkedIn account belongs to, and the Message via group / event step (set to group) messages each of them as a fellow member. Niche groups are some of the best-targeted audiences on LinkedIn.
Pair it with a later invitation step for people who reply, so the relationship moves into your network.
- Group member import
- Message as a fellow member
- Invite after a reply

Oh nice, yes please!

- 20 event messages / day
- 20 group messages / day
