Yes. Every audit produces a 280-character LinkedIn connection request alongside the email draft. Open the lead, copy the message, paste it into the connection note on LinkedIn. Email + LinkedIn together typically lifts reply rates by 1.5–2x over email alone.

What the LinkedIn draft is for

LinkedIn caps connection notes at 300 characters. It rewards a soft, human first touch. The draft is intentionally not a sales pitch — it is 2 short sentences that name the prospect's domain, mention 1 thing you noticed, and ask to connect. The hard sell happens in the follow-up email once they accept.

Think of it like saying hello at a conference. You do not pitch in the hallway; you ask for a coffee.

How LemAudit writes it

The same generate-outreach edge function that writes the email draft emits a second, shorter output for LinkedIn. It uses our AI gateway (Gemini Flash). It reads the top 1 finding from the issue list. It renders a 2-sentence note under 280 characters, leaving a 20-character buffer for safety.

You will find the message under the LinkedIn tab on the lead detail page. Click Copy and paste it into the connection request note.

Worked example

An agency paired the email and LinkedIn drafts on a batch of 18 dental practices. They sent the LinkedIn note first, waited 24 hours, then sent the email only to leads who had not yet accepted. Acceptance rate: 11 of 18. Email reply rate from the remaining 7: 3 of 7. Total bookings from 18 prospects: 4 calls, vs 1 from email-only the prior week.

When this isn't right

LinkedIn limits free accounts to roughly 100 connection requests per week. It rate-limits paste-and-send patterns. For high-volume outreach, use a Sales Navigator account and pace requests. For B2C prospects (restaurants, salons, plumbers) the owner is rarely on LinkedIn. Skip this draft and lean on email only.
