# Forward an invitation received from outside the organization

> 🚧 **Coming soon.** This feature will let you forward to Anghello an invitation received from an external contact (for example a supplier confirming their visit). The external sender will automatically be recognized as the visitor to welcome.

**Audience:** Hosts, Receptionists
**Application:** Outlook, Google Calendar, email client
**Estimated time:** 1 minute (once the feature is available)

---

### What need it addresses

You've received a calendar invitation **from an external contact** (for example a contractor confirming their visit, or a candidate forwarding you their appointment). Instead of recreating the visit by hand in Anghello, you'll simply be able to forward the invitation to your site's invitation address.

---

### How it will work

### 1. Open the invitation you received

In your mailbox, open the invitation sent by your external contact.

### 2. Forward it to the Anghello invitation address

Click **Forward** and enter your site's invitation address (for example `my-site@invit.anghello.com`), then send.

### 3. Let Anghello do the rest

Anghello will create a pre-registration with:

* **You** as the host (you are an Anghello user of the site).
* **The external organizer** (the contact who sent you the invitation) as the visitor.
* The event's **other external guests** as additional visitors.

---

### What you'll still need to know

* The usual rules apply: a maximum of 10 visitors per invitation, a 1-year horizon, etc.
* The forward must be sent from your Anghello email address, otherwise it will be rejected.

---

### What to do in the meantime?

💡 **Tip:** Two options while waiting for the feature to be released:

* Create the pre-registration **manually** in the Admin app. See [Pre-register a visit manually](https://help.anghello.com/en/article/manually-pre-register-a-visit-17i9h05/).
* Accept the invitation you received, then **create a new event** in your own calendar with the external contact as a guest and the Anghello invitation address as a recipient. See [Pre-register a visit from Outlook or Google Calendar](https://help.anghello.com/en/article/pre-register-an-appointment-from-outlook-or-google-calendar-3aig74/).
