# Accept connection request

`POST /v3/network/invitation/accept`

Accept a connection request sent by a vendor or customer.

The organization receiving the connection request must have auto-connections disabled. If auto-connections are not disabled, BILL automatically connects the organizations in the BILL Network.

When the invitation is accepted, BILL connects the two organizations in the BILL Network.

See [BILL Network](https://developer.bill.com/docs/bill-network) in the Guides section for more information, sample requests, and responses.
