# How To Send A Manual LinkedIn Connection Request in LeadLoft

This article explains how you can send a manual LinkedIn connection request from within LeadLoft.

## How to Send a Connection Request:

1.  Click the LinkedIn Icon next to a contact in [LeadLoft](https://app.leadloft.com/playbooks).
    
2.  Optionally add a connection note.
    
3.  Click the **“Send Connection Request”** button.
    

> **Info:** **Note:** You can also use [Playbooks](https://app.leadloft.com/playbooks) to send connection requests automatically.

## When can you send connection request?

If you're not connected with a contact, you'll see a **gray dot indicator** next to their LinkedIn icon. When you're not connected, LeadLoft will prompt you to send a LinkedIn connection request.

> **Info:** **Tip:** If you are already connected with a contact, LeadLoft will default to sending messages instead of connection requests.
