Low Connection Request Outreach

Updated over 2 months ago

If your campaign is sending out few or no connection requests, don't worry! Here’s a guide to help you identify and resolve the most common causes of this issue.


Missing Connection Request Step in Your Campaign

  • Verify if the Send Connection Request step is included in your campaign sequence.

  • Without this step, no connection requests will be sent.

LinkedIn Limitations

  • LinkedIn may impose restrictions on connection requests.

  • Check the Notifications Panel for messages about these limitations.

  • These restrictions are typically reset every Monday.

Insufficient Profile View Limits

  • If the Profile Views Limit in your Account Settings is too low, connection requests may not proceed.

  • This applies only when the Connection Request Booster is disabled.

  • Increase the profile view limit or enable the booster for uninterrupted requests.

  • For more details, see the Views of Profiles guide.

Restricted System Operating Hours

  • Narrow operating hours, such as 13:00–14:00, can reduce the chances of all tasks being executed.

  • Extend the operating hours in your settings to maximize campaign performance.

No New Profiles Available

  • If your search has no new profiles, no connection requests can be sent.

  • Check the Campaign Page to confirm the number of available profiles.

CVS Search

  • All profiles from the list may have already received requests.

  • Add a new search to the campaign to continue.

URL Search

  • The bot might have completed the task by reaching the last page of the results.

  • Dynamic Search Tip: Rerun the search to include new profiles that may appear later.

How to Rerun Searches

  1. Rerun All Searches

    • Click the three-dot button next to the campaign.

    • Select Rerun Searches.

  2. Rerun a Specific Search

    • Click the Edit button next to the campaign.

    • Locate the search, click the three-dot button, and choose Rerun.

Connection Request Withdrawal

  • Connection requests may be automatically withdrawn if PENDING CONNECTIONS is enabled in your settings.

  • Withdraw requests manually by navigating to:
    My Network > Invitations > See All > Sent on your LinkedIn accoiunt

  • Withdrawn requests can be resent after 3 weeks.

Connection Request Limit Set to Zero

  • Ensure the Number of Connection Requests feature is not set to zero in your campaign settings.

  • Adjust the limit under Campaign Settings by clicking the three-dot icon.

  • Example: If the daily limit is set to 10, the system will send only 10 requests, even if your account can handle more.

By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and resolve low connection request issues effectively.
