Overview
This campaign allows you to send messages to all groups or events you are part of. You can send messages to non-first degree connections from the same Groups or Events as you are.
Contacts You Can Message
Groups & Events Campaign Type can only access Contacts in Group or Event that you are already a part of.
If you want to target a new Group or Event, you will need to join them first, once you join you can access the full list.
NOTE: Groups & Events Campaign Type does not support cases when Contacts were a part of a Group or an Event when you added then, but then left it. This will lead to a situation where you are no longer able to send Groups / Event Messages.
Allowed Message Types
Groups & Events Campaign Type only allows sending Group and Event Messages using the “InMail” messages since you won't be sending connection requests.
NOTE: since the campaign uses InMails, the profiles imported need to have an open profile because the campaign cannot use InMail credits.
You can use the Basic Search and Search with Sales Navigator to import contacts to your campaign.
