Pending invites
Connection requests you've sent that haven't been accepted or declined. A large pending pile is both a targeting report card and a quiet risk factor.
Review pending invitations as unresolved relationship requests. Examine their age and the relevance of the original audience before scheduling more outreach. Withdrawal is a separate LinkedIn action, not a refund of an invitation restriction, and is not exposed in this reviewed tool catalog.
In practice
Review invitation age and targeting patterns before adding more recipients to a campaign.
What to check
Pending is not accepted, rejected, or permission to retry. The documented tool surface does not include a pending-invite withdrawal tool.

- Acceptance rate
- The proportion of connection requests accepted within a stated cohort and observation window. Always name the denominator and allow time for pending invitations to mature.
- Invitation withdrawal
- Cancelling a sent connection request. LinkedIn blocks re-inviting the same person for up to three weeks after withdrawal: so it's cleanup, not a retry button.
