send linkedin message manually from queue – a linkedin message will be added to your queue for manual review and sending when a candidate reaches this step in the outreach sequence when creating your linkedin message, keep the following in mind account for the character limit – variables like {{candidate first name} vary in length so leave a little buffer so your final message stays within linkedin’s limits watch out for hidden formatting – if you copy and paste your message from a different platform, there can be hidden formatting that skews the character count you can fix this by selecting "paste and match style" or "paste without formatting” (windows ctrl + shift + v, mac cmd + shift + v) to keep it clean adding links – links can be added to your linkedin steps, but there's a chance that linkedin may block the links from being accessed note subject lines in linkedin messages are not supported as not all linkedin messaging features allow them reminder each outreach sequence supports only one linkedin message in accordance with linkedin’s platform restrictions you cannot add multiple linkedin messages to a single sequence note linkedin inmails can be sent from pin using

platform restrictions you cannot add multiple linkedin connection requests to a single sequence if a recipient clicks "ignore" on your connection request and selects "i don't know this person," linkedin may temporarily prevent you from sending them another connection request although linkedin doesn’t provide a clear warning or specific duration for the restriction, users have reported that it can last up to 6 months during this period, the "connect" button may be disabled or hidden on that person’s profile, and you won’t be able to reinitiate the connection important if you're using the free or premium version of linkedin, we don't recommend sending a connection request as your first step; these accounts are limited to 15 requests per week instead, we recommend adding it as the third or fourth step in your outreach sequence import your linkedin connections you can source candidates from your linkedin network by importing a csv of your connections go to linkedin connections click
