Why does my QuickLink go to a MyLinkInvitation invitation page and not directly to LinkedIn?
There are multiple reasons. First, MyLinkInvitation needs to ensure your trusted business contacts have the information they need to use your QuickLink This means we have to handle cases where the user’s LinkedIn account is restricted and he needs to have your email address accessible. Next, MyLinkInvitation is designed to make it easy to handle LinkedIn changes. Instead of thousands of QuickLink users changing their link, all we have to do is update the MyLinkInvitation invitation page. You can keep using your current QuickLink through MyLinkInvitation. Lastly, we are good LinkedIn citizens and comply with their rules. That means QuickLink users should not be surprised by how QuickLinks work. That could result in bad vibes and, dare we say, complaints and further restrictions and changes to LinkedIn invitations.
