LinkedIn Connection Message Generator
Write a short, polite connection request that gets accepted. Pick a scenario and get 3 copy-ready messages under 300 characters.
Inputs
Keep connection notes short. Replace placeholders like [topic] with something specific.
Messages
If you want higher reply rates, keep the message relevant and avoid pitching in the first note.
How to use
- Choose a scenario (networking, recruiting, sales, event follow-up).
- Add a specific reason (reference a post, role, or shared interest).
- Copy a message and send it as a connection note.
Tip: Use one small ask max (or no ask). The goal is to get accepted first.
FAQ
What is the LinkedIn connection request message limit?
LinkedIn connection notes are commonly limited to 300 characters. This tool keeps drafts under the limit.
What should I write in a connection request?
Keep it simple: who you are, why you're reaching out, and one small ask (or just 'would love to connect'). Make it specific to them.
Should I pitch in the first message?
Usually no. Cold pitching in the first note reduces acceptance. Build context and trust first.
Do I need to include their name?
It's optional. Using a first name can feel more human, but the relevance of your reason matters more.
