# LinkedIn — accept a received invitation

Automatically accept a received invitation on linkedin.com. Accept a pending received LinkedIn invitation, by its invitation id from get_received_invitations (preferred) or by the inviter's display name. A name that matches two invitations throws rather than guess, and a name that is only in "Suggestions for you" gets a clear error (there is nothing to accept). dryRun finds and checks the invitation without accepting it. Returns the status and the matched card text so you can confirm the right one was accepted.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/linkedin.com/accept_invitation`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/linkedin.com/accept_invitation
```

## Input

- `name` (string, optional): Inviter's display name exactly as shown on the invitation (e.g. "Ossama Messaoudi", or a page name like "Marketer Tips"), when you have no invitationUrn. Two or more matching invitations throw.
- `dryRun` (boolean, optional): Find and check the invitation, but do not click Accept. Returns status "dry_run".
- `invitationUrn` (string, optional): The invitation's urn:li:invitation:<id>, as get_received_invitations returns it. Preferred: it targets one row exactly.

## Output

- `status` (string, required): "accepted" when the invitation left the pending list; "dry_run" when dryRun stopped before the click.
- `name` (string | null, optional): Echo of the requested name, or null when targeted by invitationUrn.
- `invitationUrn` (string | null, optional): urn:li:invitation:<id> of the matched row.
- `recipientResolved` (string | null, optional): Trimmed text of the matched invitation card — cross-check the right person/page was accepted.
