When you send LinkedIn connection requests as part of your sequence, you can track the status of each request. This helps you stay informed about whether a contact has accepted the request, if it's still pending, or if there's an issue.
You can track the connection request status using the Smart Filter on the People page.
Go to the People tab of your sequence.
Click on the filter icon.
Select the LinkedIn Connection Status property in the pop-up.
Choose a condition (Is or Is Not) and select the status you want to filter by.
Click Apply.
LinkedIn connections statuses
Here are all the statuses of LinkedIn connection requests and their descriptions:
Status | Description |
Unchecked | When you start a sequence with LinkedIn connection request steps, the initial status will be Unchecked.
This means the system hasn't received a response yet. As soon as the contact interacts with your connection request, the status will automatically update. |
Connected | This status can apply in two cases:
Either way, this status indicates a successful connection with the contact on LinkedIn. Once connected, they will move forward to the next LinkedIn step in your sequence. |
Not Connected | This status means the LinkedIn connection attempt hasn't been successful. |
Pending | This status means a connection request has been sent but hasn’t been accepted yet. We're still waiting for the contact to take action. |
Connection forbidden | This status appears when the contact has restricted their LinkedIn account, preventing connection requests from being sent. |
Invalid URL | This status shows a verification failure when trying to validate the LinkedIn URL linked to the contact.
There are two reasons for this:
Please update the URL in the contact’s profile to continue with the connection. |
Revoked | This status means a previously sent connection request has been withdrawn. The request will no longer be visible to the contact, and the system will not attempt to resend it. Once revoked, you won’t be able to send another request to the same person for up to 3 weeks. |
💡Important notes:
If a contact is added to multiple sequences, one connection request status may override another.
The connection status does not affect the processing of other LinkedIn steps in the sequence, such as 'Automatic View Profile', 'Like Recent Posts', or 'InMail'.
Regardless of whether the connection request has been accepted, these steps will still be carried out as planned.You can still reply to contacts in your Inbox even if they haven't accepted your connection request, as long as they responded to it.
