How to Track Sent Invitations in LinkedIn

LinkedIn keeps a running list of all the Invitations you sent out with the current status (Accepted, Doesn’t Know, Expired, or Sent) of each Invitation on that page as well. The last thing you want to do is send out repeat Invitations to the same person because you didn’t monitor your Sent Invitations list.

You may want to review your Sent Invitations list because someone hasn’t responded yet; you can send that person a follow-up e-mail either through LinkedIn or via your own e-mail account.

When you want to track your sent Invitations, follow these steps.

Click the Sent Invitations link.

You see the Sent Invitations page.

You can click any of the column headers (like To, Subject, Status, or Date) to change the sort order of the list. For example, you can group all your Invitations by Status: Just click the Status column header once to sort the list by status. At the top are Accepted messages, then Doesn’t Know, Sent, and finally Withdrawn invitations.

To view an individual Invitation, click the Subject link for that particular Invitation.

You see a copy of your Invitation. In this particular case, you see the options presented because the recipient has not acted on the Invitation yet.
