Can I put list a referral on an application if I spoke to them 6+months ago?

I spoke to a director level alum late last year, had a good conversation (I think), and now a position opened up at their company. I haven't spoken to them since but want to use them as a referral. Should I reach out again/give them an update on myself + the application or just list their name on the application without talking?

 

"Hello ___

I hope all is well. I noticed a job posting for ___ at ___ recently got published. I'm super interested in this role and was wondering if I can list you as a referral. If you are free, I'd love to catch up with how you have been these last few months and hear any advice you might have to lend me.

Thanks,


"
