**Note:** Whether you can include a message depends on your LinkedIn account type and LinkedIn’s rules.

**Step 3 - Add a follow-up message**
Click Add Follow-up Message below the connection request.

**Step 4 - Set the waiting period**
Choose how long ReachBoost should wait between the accepted connection request and the follow-up message. For example, you can select one, two, or three days.

**Step 5 - Write your message**
Enter the message you want to send after the lead accepts your connection request.
Click Save in the bottom-right corner after creating the message.

**Step 6 - Add more follow-up messages**
You can add another follow-up message using the same process.
