# Accept an invitation

> What to do when you're invited to a business, and what each message means if the invitation can't be accepted.

When someone invites you to a business, you get an email from Restoman with a link. The invitation also shows up in [My account](/en/guia/mi-cuenta), under **Pending invitations**.

## Step by step

1. Open the link in the email (or tap **View invitation** in My account).
2. If you haven't signed in yet, [sign in](/en/guia/ingresar) **with the email address the invitation was sent to**.
3. You'll see the business, who invited you, your roles and when it expires.
4. Tap **Accept**. You enter the business, and you'll see it among your businesses.

If you don't want to join, tap **Decline**.
