Incoming Connection Requests
Incoming connections shows the invitations waiting in your LinkedIn account, with your agent’s opinion of each sender already attached. It is the page to check when people come to you rather than the other way round.
What the table shows
Each row is one person who asked to connect.
- Person, with their photo, name and headline, and your agent’s reasoning underneath it in one line.
- Decision, the agent’s verdict: needs review, qualified, disqualified or already accepted.
- Score, how well they match your ideal customer profile.
- Their note, the message they attached to the invitation, in full.
- Received, how long the invitation has been waiting.
Sort on any of those columns. The filter chips narrow by decision, by score band and by whether the person wrote a note, and the search box covers names, headlines, notes and the agent’s reasoning. The list is refreshed from LinkedIn when you open the page, and Refresh pulls it again.
How senders are scored
Every incoming invitation becomes a lead in SDRPilot with its source recorded as an incoming request. SDRPilot reads the sender’s profile and scores them against your ideal customer profile, exactly as it does for people it found itself.
The note matters. If somebody writes that they are a customer, a user of your product or a member of your community, your agent takes that seriously and scores accordingly, instead of judging them on their job title alone.
Accepting
Choose Accept on a row. For somebody the agent disqualified, the button reads Accept anyway, because your judgement overrides the score. Every row can be accepted, whatever the verdict.
When an accept fails, and LinkedIn does occasionally refuse one, the row says so in red and the button becomes available again. Use Refresh and try once more.
To handle several at once, tick the rows you want and use Accept on the bar that appears. Accepting is not reversible on LinkedIn’s side, so it asks you to confirm and it tells you how many of your selection it can actually act on. You can also tag a selection from the same bar.
What happens after you accept
- The person’s lead status moves to connected, and the record of how they first reached you is kept.
- SDRPilot reads their profile properly and writes a short brief on them, so your agent has more than a name and a headline to work with.
- A conversation is created and handed to your agent.
- If they attached a note, LinkedIn delivers it as the first message in the thread and your agent replies to it. If they did not, your agent sends its opening message instead. You never get both, so the thread never starts with two messages from your side.
Your agent does the same thing on its own for senders who clearly fit. It waits a few minutes rather than accepting the second the invitation lands, then accepts and starts the conversation. Everyone else waits for you.
Not there yet
Declining an invitation from this page is not built yet. To turn somebody down, ignore or withdraw the invitation in LinkedIn itself.
