When running multichannel campaigns, knowing when to engage and when to hold off can make a big difference. That’s where the “Wait for Connection Request to Be Accepted” toggle comes into play.

This setting determines whether or not Outreachly will pause your cadence until a LinkedIn connection request is accepted.


What Happens When It’s Turned ON

When “Wait for Connection Request to Be Accepted” is toggled ON, Outreachly will pause all following steps, including emails, tasks, and automations, until your prospect accepts your LinkedIn connection request.

This is useful when:

  • You'd like to hold off all outreach until the prospect connects.

  • You plan to personalize messaging based on their LinkedIn profile.

  • You'd like to avoid emailing you before a connection is made.

What Happens When It’s Turned OFF

When this toggle is OFF, Outreachly will continue with the rest of your campaign steps regardless of whether the connection request has been accepted or not.


This allows:

  • Emails, manual tasks, or CRM actions to continue as planned.

  • An actual multichannel experience, without waiting for LinkedIn engagement.

It’s perfect if:

  • You’re using LinkedIn as one of several touchpoints.

  • You don’t want the campaign stalled just because someone didn’t accept your request.

🚀 Success! Now you’re in control of when your campaigns pause or push forward based on your connection strategy.
