Allowed `linkedInType` values are `LINKEDIN_INVITATION`, `LINKEDIN_INVITATION_WITH_MESSAGE`, `LINKEDIN_MESSAGE`, and `LINKEDIN_INMAIL`.

Only one invite step is allowed per blueprint.

## Supported template variables

Only these variables are supported in `content` and `subject`:

| Variable                   | Meaning                     |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| `{{firstname}}`            | Candidate first name        |
| `{{lastname}}`             | Candidate last name         |
| `{{candidateJobTitle}}`    | Candidate current job title |
| `{{candidateCompanyName}}` | Candidate current company   |
| `{{candidateLocation}}`    | Candidate location          |
| `{{sourcingJobTitle}}`     | Sourcing target job title   |
| `{{sourcingLocation}}`     | Sourcing target location    |
| `{{recruiterFirstname}}`   | Recruiter first name        |
| `{{recruiterLastname}}`    | Recruiter last name         |

Do not invent variables. Unknown variables such as `{{firstName}}`, `{{company}}`, or `{{job}}` are rejected.

Do not use unresolved bracket placeholders such as `[company]`, `[specific project or stack]`, `[one-pager link]`, or `[1 detail to add]` in `content` or `subject`. Replace them with real text, remove that part of the sentence, or ask the user for the missing detail before calling `create_sequence_blueprint`.
