LinkedIn message templates you can insert with a shortcut

Copy-pasting the same LinkedIn note from a doc is slow and easy to get wrong (“Hi [NAME]”). Shortcuts with fill-in fields make every message personal in seconds.

Connection requests (under 300 characters)

;lic — connection request

Hi {First name} — I enjoyed your post on {text:Topic}. I work on {text:My area} and would love to connect.

;lie — event connection

Hi {First name}, great to see you at {text:Event}! Would be good to stay connected.

Recruiter outreach

;reach — candidate outreach

Hi {First name},

Your experience with {text:Skill} caught my eye. We’re hiring a {text:Role} at {text:Company} ({choice:Location=remote|hybrid|on-site}). Open to a quick chat this week?

;reach2 — follow-up after no reply

Hi {First name}, bumping this in case it got buried — happy to share the salary range and team details before any call.

Sales prospecting

;pros — soft opener

Hi {First name}, I noticed {Company} is {text:Trigger=hiring SDRs}. We help similar teams {text:Outcome}. Worth comparing notes?

Stay within LinkedIn’s rules

PhraseBolt only types for you — it does not send messages, scrape profiles or automate clicks, so it stays on the right side of LinkedIn’s automation policy. Personalise each message; templates are a starting point, not spam.

Tips

• Use the search palette when you have many variants: Ctrl+Shift+Space → “reach”.
• Keep connection notes short; LinkedIn cuts them around 300 characters.
