Invite note counter
LinkedIn caps connection request notes at 300 characters. Paste a draft and watch the count as you edit.
0 / 300
Why 300 characters is a gift
It is roughly four short sentences — not enough room for a pitch, which forces the note to be about them instead of you. If your draft does not fit, the usual culprit is a sentence about your company that the reader did not ask for.
A structure that fits
- Where you saw them, in about six words.
- The specific thing you are responding to.
- The useful thing, briefly. No ask.
