# Connection settings

This module is composed of 3 options:

* **Connection Request (no default message)** --> if checked, the bot will send a connection request to each profile doing part of the list. *No note* will be attached to this requests.
* **Connection Request (with default message)** --> you can choose a message template (or [add a message template](https://docs.socializit.com/message-templates/add-a-message-template)) which will be attached to the connection request

* **Follow** --> if checked, the bot will follow every profile doing part of the list

{% hint style="info" %}
Follow operations will be executed **before** connection requests
{% endhint %}

If you are running operations upon a list composed purely of 1st degree connections, it is advisable to not opt for following or requesting connections.
