What this template does

A connection request has 300 characters to explain why a stranger should say yes. This template writes that note per person. From a name and profile link, or a list of them, Sprites researches what the person has published and where they work, finds a genuine point of overlap with you, and writes a note that states it in one or two sentences without a pitch.

It also writes what comes next: the first message after acceptance, which is where most outreach goes wrong by selling too soon. Sprites drafts a follow-up that offers something useful or asks one easy question, and a later message that raises your product only once there is a reason to.

Sprites does not automate LinkedIn. It does not send requests, send messages or run any activity on your profile; automation of that kind violates LinkedIn terms and gets accounts restricted. You copy each note and send it yourself. If you want to reach the same people at scale, the paid route is LinkedIn Ads, which Sprites does run.

Inputs and outputs

What you provide

  • The people to reach: profile links or names and companies, pasted or uploaded as a spreadsheet
  • Who you are and why you are connecting: hiring, selling, partnering, learning, or building an audience
  • Any shared context you already know: events, groups, mutual connections, their content you have read
  • Optional: your own voice notes or messages that have worked before

What you get

  • A research line per person: role, recent post or article, and the overlap with you
  • A connection note per person under 300 characters, with an alternate version
  • A first message after acceptance that gives before it asks
  • A later message that introduces your offer, written to be sent only when relevant
  • A short list of people on the list who are a poor fit, with the reason

How it runs

  1. Step 1

    Research each person

    Sprites reads the public profile and recent activity for each person and picks the one detail that makes the note personal instead of templated.

  2. Step 2

    Write the note

    Drafts a connection note within the character limit that names the overlap and asks for nothing yet, plus a second version with a different angle.

  3. Step 3

    Write the follow-ups

    Produces the post-acceptance message and a later offer message, with a suggested gap between them and the signal that should trigger the second.

  4. Step 4

    Flag poor fits

    Marks people whose role or content suggests the connection would not be welcome, so the list you send to is shorter and more accurate.

  5. Step 5

    Hand off

    You copy each note into LinkedIn and send it yourself. Sprites keeps the list and drafts, so you can ask for the next batch or a rewrite for anyone who replied.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sprites send the connection requests?

+

No. Sprites drafts the notes and follow-up messages; you send them from your own LinkedIn account. Sprites does not automate connection requests, messages, profile visits or any other LinkedIn activity, and it does not integrate with tools that do.

Does this comply with LinkedIn terms of service?

+

Yes. Writing a note and sending it yourself is ordinary use. Automated sending and scraping tools are what LinkedIn restricts accounts for, and Sprites does neither. The only LinkedIn automation Sprites offers is advertising through the official LinkedIn Ads API.

How does it personalize each request?

+

From public information: the person headline, recent posts or articles, company news and any shared context you provide. Sprites writes one specific line per person and keeps the note under the 300-character limit so it is never cut off.

What if I want to reach hundreds of people?

+

Sprites will draft hundreds of notes from a spreadsheet, but sending them one by one is still on you. For scale, run LinkedIn Ads to the same account list; Sprites builds the campaign and message ad copy and stages it in your ad account for approval.

Can I run this from Claude or ChatGPT?

+

Yes. Sprites ships an official MCP server, so you can get the same drafts from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or any MCP-compatible assistant, or work in the Sprites app.
