LinkedIn invitation note writer
Stay under 200 characters, with a counter that accounts for the variables filled in after you.
It fits, with 19 characters to spare. Tight but safe.
Variables counted at their longest: {prénom} = 12, {entreprise} = 22, {sujet} = 26, {source} = 18
Makelead fills these variables and sends the note for you, within 200 invitations over any rolling 7 days, then the message after acceptance and two follow-ups. You write the sequence once. A note on every invitation requires LinkedIn Premium, a free account is limited to 3 notes a month.
LinkedIn caps the invitation note at 200 characters, according to its own help center. The 300 figure you still read everywhere is outdated. The trap is that variables are replaced after you write: a note validated at 195 characters with a short first name overflows with a long one.
On a free account, LinkedIn only lets you add a note to 3 invitations a month. Premium members can add one to every invitation. Nothing is sent anywhere, everything runs in your browser.
How it works
- 1Pick the template matching where you found the person.
- 2Adapt it in your own words, keeping the variables.
- 3Watch the worst-case counter, not the raw one.
- 4Copy, and paste it into your tool or into LinkedIn.
Frequently asked questions
How many characters can a LinkedIn invitation note have?
Two hundred, including spaces, according to LinkedIn's help center. The 300 limit quoted in many guides is no longer the official one. Count after your variables are replaced, which is where most notes break.
How many invitations can carry a note?
On a free account, 3 a month at most. Premium members can add a note to all their invitations, with no cap on the number. The daily and weekly invitation limits stay the same either way.
Should you send an invitation with or without a note?
With, when it says something about the person: their reaction to a post, their job, their company. A generic note performs worse than no note at all, because it reads as a template.
What should never go in the note?
A link, a price, a calendar slot, and anything that looks like a pitch. The note earns the connection, the first message after acceptance starts the conversation.
