Connection request note
The optional personalized message attached to a LinkedIn invitation. Character limits and note allowances depend on the account and LinkedIn's current rules.
Keep a note focused on one truthful reason to connect. Check the sending account's allowance rather than assuming a universal length: LinkedBoost validates a 300-character tool ceiling, while LinkedIn's personalization guidance describes a lower limit. Compare notes using observed audience outcomes, not a guaranteed with-note advantage.
In practice
Write one short, verified reason to connect and check the note length supported by the sending account before queuing it.
What to check
LinkedBoost's tool ceiling is 300 characters; LinkedIn Help describes a 200-character limit on its personalization page. Follow the account's actual allowance.
