Overview
The "Get Invitation Status" operation in the Linkup API node for LinkedIn allows users to check the status of a LinkedIn invitation sent to a specific profile. This is useful for automating and tracking your LinkedIn networking efforts by programmatically verifying whether an invitation is pending, accepted, or declined.
Typical use cases include:
- Monitoring the status of connection requests you have sent.
- Automating follow-up actions based on invitation status.
- Integrating LinkedIn invitation status checks into broader workflows such as CRM updates or marketing automation.
For example, you could use this node to automatically check if a connection request to a prospect has been accepted before sending a personalized message.
Properties

| LinkedIn Profile URL | The URL of the LinkedIn profile whose invitation status you want to check (e.g., https://www.linkedin.com/in/username). |
| Country Code | The country code used for proxy selection to route the request appropriately (e.g., FR, US, UK, DE, ES, IT, CA, AU). |
| Timeout | (Advanced Option) The maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the API response before timing out. Default is 30000 ms. |
| Retry Count | (Advanced Option) Number of times to retry the request upon failure. Default is 3. |
These properties are grouped under "Linkup Parameters" → "getInvitationStatusParams" and "Advanced Options".
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Linkup API about the invitation status. The output includes:
- The detailed invitation status information returned by the API for the specified LinkedIn profile.
- A
_debugobject with details about the request body, headers, endpoint, and raw API response for troubleshooting. - Metadata including the resource ("network"), operation ("getInvitationStatus"), timestamp of execution, and node version.
- The output is paired with the input item index for traceability.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the Linkup API service.
- The node uses the Linkup API endpoint
https://api.linkupapi.com/v1/network/invitation-status. - Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary.
- The country code property helps select the appropriate proxy routing for the request.
Troubleshooting
- Missing API Key: If the API key credential is not configured or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating the missing API key. Ensure the API key is set up correctly in the node credentials.
- Invalid LinkedIn Profile URL: Providing an incorrect or malformed LinkedIn profile URL may result in errors or empty responses. Verify the URL format.
- Timeouts: Network issues or slow API responses can cause timeouts. Adjust the "Timeout" advanced option if needed.
- API Rate Limits or Errors: The API might return errors due to rate limits or other issues. Use the debug output to inspect the raw API response and adjust usage accordingly.
- Country Code Mismatch: Using an unsupported or incorrect country code may affect proxy routing and cause failures. Use valid country codes like "FR", "US", etc.
