# Does LemAudit generate LinkedIn messages?

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](/help/outreach/how-do-ai-outreach-emails-work) 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](/help/outreach/how-do-ai-outreach-emails-work) emits a second, shorter output for LinkedIn. It uses our AI gateway (Gemini Flash). It reads the top 1 finding from the [issue list](/help/audits/what-types-of-issues-does-the-audit-find). 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](/help/leads/what-information-does-a-lead-detail-page-show). 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](/help/outreach/how-do-ai-outreach-emails-work) only.
