Message New Connections with the Extension

You'll learn how to: Message people who recently accepted your connection request and let the extension auto-advance through your queue.

Time: 3 min

Prereqs: Install the Nynch Chrome extension

The New Connections feature helps you reach out to people who have accepted your connection request in the last ~30 days with no first message yet. The extension suggests a personalized message and auto-advances to the next person once you've sent it.

How to message new connections

  1. On the Nynch sidebar on any LinkedIn page, navigate to the Engage tab.
  2. Look for the New Connections view (distinct from Start Relationships mode).
  3. Review the person's card, which shows:
    • Their photo and name
    • Their headline and profile overview
    • A prefilled first message (AI-generated based on their profile)
  4. Click Copy to copy the suggested message to your clipboard.
  5. Open their LinkedIn profile or navigate to your LinkedIn messages.
  6. Paste the message in your DM composer and edit it if needed.
  7. Click Send to deliver the message.
  8. Once sent, the extension detects it and automatically advances to the next new connection.

Customizing your message

The suggested message is a starting point. You can:

  • Edit the message before sending (the extension still auto-advances after you send).
  • Skip the suggestion and write your own message.
  • Reply directly on their profile page if you prefer the in-app messenger flow.

If something goes wrong

Symptom: The extension doesn't auto-advance after I send a message. → Fix: The extension reads your sent messages from LinkedIn's DOM. If the message appears in your sent folder, try clicking the next person's card manually. If messages aren't appearing at all, check that the extension has permission to read LinkedIn messenger content (see Extension Privacy & Permissions).

Symptom: The suggested message looks generic or irrelevant. → Fix: The message is generated from the person's profile data. If their LinkedIn profile is incomplete or lacks recent activity, the suggestion may be brief. Write a custom message or ask about a specific shared connection.

Symptom: People appear twice in the queue or seem out of order. → Fix: Refresh the sidebar by clicking Refresh or navigating to a different LinkedIn page and back. The queue syncs from people who accepted in the last ~30 days.
