Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit for a LinkedIn connection request note?
A LinkedIn connection request note is capped at 300 characters. Anything longer is cut off, so trim to fit. The checker counts your note live against the 300-character limit and shows how many characters you have left before it overflows.
How many connection notes can a free LinkedIn account send?
Free accounts can send only a limited number of personalized notes per month, after which invites go out without a note. Premium tiers raise that allowance. Plan your notes for high-value targets and let lower-priority invites send note-free when you run out for the month.
Is it better to send a LinkedIn connection request with or without a note?
It depends on note quality. A short, specific, relevant note tends to beat both a long pitch and a generic one. When you are out of personalized notes for the month, a blank request often outperforms a forced, generic note. Quality matters more than simply attaching any note.
What makes a good LinkedIn connection request note?
Keep it short and specific within the 300-character limit: a real reason you are connecting, a shared context or person, no pitch. Generic templates underperform. Lead with relevance to them, not what you sell, and leave the ask for after they accept. Brevity reads as respectful and lifts acceptance.
