LinkedIn connection message generator

Write a LinkedIn connection message from your role, their role, and the reason you want to connect. You get three short options, each 300 characters or fewer. The LinkedIn message templates further down stay useful on their own.

  1. 01

    Describe your role, their role, and why you want to connect. Keep the three fields to 600 characters together.

  2. 02

    Write three options, or start from a template. Each one is a LinkedIn connection request message of 300 characters or fewer, short enough to use as a LinkedIn cold message.

  3. 03

    Copy the note you want and paste it into LinkedIn yourself. This page does not open LinkedIn.

FAQ

How long can a LinkedIn connection message be?

A LinkedIn connection request note is limited to 300 characters. Each option on this page stays within that limit, and the counter updates as you go.

What is a good LinkedIn connection request message?

One specific reason beats a generic hello. Say who you are, why you picked them, and what you want the connection for. The templates are starting points for that kind of note.

Does this use my LinkedIn account?

No. You type the context here. The page does not read your LinkedIn inbox, profile, or contacts. When the generator is available, the three fields are sent only to write the three options.

Can I use the LinkedIn message templates without the generator?

Yes. The templates stay on the page when the generator is unavailable. Copy one and replace the brackets.
