LinkedIn Message Automation: 11 Templates to Use

Connection Request Message - Coworkers

Connection requests are how LinkedIn makes it possible to connect with everyone from friends to coworkers to simply professionals that you admire.

It’s important to attach a message to your connection request so that the individual you are connecting with knows who you are and why you want to connect with them on the platform.

This template is great to use if you are part of a business with a large employee base.

Note: You cannot preview the LinkedIn name command. Even though it shows up as code in these snippets, when you use the snippet on LinkedIn, it will add the person's name you are messaging.

Distant Coworker Connection Request
Hello {linkedin-firstname: default=Jane}!

I've never had the opportunity to work with you directly, but I've heard great things about your sales strategies and your capacity to deal with difficult clients. Hopefully, I'll get to see you in action one day! I'll see you around.

Best, John Smith

New Coworker Connection Request
Hello {linkedin-firstname: default=Jane}!

I'm giddy with excitement to work in the product development division. One of the things that made me want to work at ACME was the team's inventiveness and dedication to always seeking out the best testing procedures. Can’t wait to start contributing along with you!

Former Coworker Connection Request
Hello {linkedin-firstname: default=Jane}!

From {time: YYYY; shift=-2Y} to {time: YYYY}, it was a pleasure to work together at ACME. Can you imagine if we had to go back to using those large computers since you had the best troubleshooting abilities in the office?

If you get an opportunity, I'd love to hook up with you and find out more about your new job at my new company.

Best, John Smith

Introduction Message

A LinkedIn introduction message template can be very useful if you are trying to network with others in your industry or get in touch with a potential lead.

A solid introduction message will lay out who you are, what your intentions are, and why the lead should connect with you. These messages should be short, simple, and to the point.

Relevant Field Connection Request
Dear {formtext: name=name; default=John!; cols=10}

My name is Jane and I work for ACME. Your experience with management in this sector caught my attention when I came across your profile. How about we connect? I frequently share-related content that I believe you might find valuable.

Take care! Jane Doe

Pitch Message

Sometimes you’ll need to pitch your product, business, or even yourself on LinkedIn.

The following templates are helpful because they show that you are aware of their own company, and you are able to provide brief explanations of what you are going to offer them with a quick, simple hook.

Note: You cannot preview the LinkedIn headline command. Even though it shows up as code in these snippets, when you use the snippet on LinkedIn, it will add the person's headline you are messaging.

Field-Specific Request, Tools Intro
Hey {formtext: name=name; default=there; cols=10}!

Thanks for accepting my request. I noticed that you're {linkedin-headline: default=Manager at ACME}, so I wanted to reach out. Does your team use any marketing tools? If so, would you mind sharing what you are currently using?

Thanks, Jane Doe

Introducing Product Connection Request
Hey {formtext: name=name; default=there; cols=10}!

Networking with Strangers or Acquaintances

Personalizing a connection request a friend of a friend or someone who you've spoken to at a few gatherings, could sound a little odd.

Maintain a polite demeanor when mentioning their work to emphasize that you are on LinkedIn and not at a work party or workshop event.

If you're connecting with someone you know only casually, someone you met at a networking event, or someone you admire professionally but have never met, you can use the following templates.

Message to Acquaintance Connection Request
Hello {formtext: name=name; default=there; cols=10}!

I’m happy we were introduced. I saw that you're {linkedin-headline: default=Manager at ACME}. I'll have to learn more about what you do for ACME the next time we cross paths because I've always been curious about the marketing sector.

Cheers, Jane Doe

Networking Event Connection Request
Hello {formtext: name=name; default=there; cols=10}!

It was a pleasure to meet you at the networking event on {time: MMMM Do; shift=-3W}. It sounded fascinating what you were discussing for ACME! I'd absolutely like to keep up with your professional life.

Thanks, Jane Doe

Student Connection Request
Dear {formtext: name=name; default=John!; cols=10}

I'm a senior in college who wants to work in marketing. I've been following your work with ACME for the past year, and I'm incredibly impressed.

I especially enjoyed your recent campaign last {time: MMMM; shift=-2M}. I'd be interested in learning more about how you got started in the industry and what skills you think are most important for the job if you have a few spare minutes.

I greatly appreciate it, Jane Doe
