How to Track Received LinkedIn Invitations

By Joel Elad from LinkedIn For Dummies, 2nd Edition

When growing your LinkedIn network, you should be responsive to people who want to add you to their LinkedIn connections lists. These are the people who have sent you LinkedIn invitations. To review your received LinkedIn Invitations, follow these steps:

Click the Inbox link from the top navigation bar and then click the Invitations tab (next to the Messages tab) in the middle of the screen.

You’re taken to a list of your received Invitations.
To accept a pending Invitation, click the Accept button.

If you want to reply to the person without immediately accepting that invitation (say, to get further clarification in case you don’t recognize the person), click the drop-down arrow next to the Accept button and then select Reply (don’t accept yet) to open a new message to that person. You can also click the Ignore button to remove this Invitation from your Inbox.

After you click Accept, Reply, or Ignore, that invitation disappears from your view.
Continue to act on each Invitation in your list until there are no more new Introductions.
