When someone sends one of your LinkedIn accounts an invitation to connect, Kerux shows it in the inbox's **Invitations** tab, with the note they wrote. You don't need a campaign for this: Kerux checks every LinkedIn account you connected. ![The Invitations tab in the inbox](https://mintcdn.com/kerux-f37add41/hxXnH5J2aAMkPLq4/images/inbox-invitations.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=hxXnH5J2aAMkPLq4\&q=85\&s=bd785a804a35c1d9224b639639a32ecd) ## See your invitations **1. Open the Invitations tab** Click **Inbox** in the left menu, then **Invitations** next to All, Unread and Archived. The number on the tab is how many are waiting for an answer. **2. Read each card** Each card shows the person's photo (or initials), name and headline, which of your LinkedIn accounts they invited ("To ...") and when, and their note in full. **Already a contact** means the person is already in your contacts: click it to open the contact. **3. Answer** Click **Accept** or **Ignore**. Kerux does it on LinkedIn from that account. **Open on LinkedIn** opens their profile in a new tab. **Waiting** lists the invitations you haven't answered. **History** also shows the ones you accepted or ignored (and who did it), and the ones answered or withdrawn on LinkedIn itself ("No longer waiting on LinkedIn"). ## After you accept When you accept, LinkedIn turns the person's note into the first message of a new conversation with them. It shows in your inbox with their name, photo and headline from the invitation. In **History**, an accepted card has **Open conversation** once that chat exists, and the conversation's details show **Accepted invitation on** the date, with the note. ## How often Kerux checks LinkedIn doesn't tell Kerux about new invitations, so Kerux looks for them about **every hour** from 7 AM to midnight in your account's time zone, and every 2 hours from midnight to 7 AM. On Saturday and Sunday it looks every 2 hours from 7 AM to 10 PM. A new invitation usually shows within an hour. If a campaign starts from **Invitation received** on that account, Kerux checks more often (see [How fast Kerux sees LinkedIn activity](/help/account-safety/how-fast-kerux-sees-linkedin.md)). The same check feeds both, so it never counts twice against your account's limits. The first time Kerux checks an account, every invitation already waiting shows up at once (without a notification). After that, each new invitation also shows in **Home > Tasks** under notifications, with a link to the tab. Note: Kerux uses at most half of the day's LinkedIn reads for these checks; the other half stays for your campaigns. On a very busy day the tab says that checking is paused until the next day. ## Accept and Ignore are safe to click * Each answer is sent to LinkedIn **once**. Clicking twice, or a slow connection, never accepts or ignores twice. * If LinkedIn doesn't answer clearly, the card says **Checking with LinkedIn whether it went through**, and Kerux confirms it at its next check. Nothing is sent again in the meantime. * If it didn't go through, the card says so and you can try again. * Ignoring doesn't tell the person. * Up to 50 answers a day per LinkedIn account from Kerux. * Accepting someone who is already a contact adds it to the contact's history. ## Who sees them Invitations are personal, like conversations with people who were never in a campaign: you see the invitations of the LinkedIn accounts **you connected**. Owners and admins also see an account's invitations when the person who connected it left the workspace or became a viewer. To answer you need to be a member, admin or owner (viewers can only look). Support staff viewing your workspace can't accept or ignore. ## Use the note in a campaign A campaign that starts from **Invitation received** gets the note as the variable **Invitation note** (`{{trigger.invitation_note}}`) in **Variables** (above the message), under **LinkedIn invitation**. Many invitations come without a note, so give it a value in the message's **Handle missing data** section, for example "no note" (it writes `{{trigger.invitation_note | default: "no note"}}`): a message never goes out with an empty variable. See [Variables](/help/campaigns/variables.md). ## From the API `GET /v1/linkedin-invitations` lists them (filters `status` and `sender_id`, scope `inbox:read`), and `POST /v1/linkedin-invitations/{id}/accept` or `/ignore` answers (scope `inbox:write`), with the same rules. The webhook event `linkedin.invitation_received` fires for each new invitation. See [API](/help/developers/api.md) and [Webhooks](/help/developers/webhooks.md).
