# Manage sent and received invitations in the Network module

Resend or edit sent brand invitations, accept or reject received ones, and filter both lists in your Business Account by brand, status, or relationship type.

The Network module in your Business Account keeps two lists of brand invitations: the ones you've sent and the ones you've received. Keeping them current helps you improve acceptance rates, maintain clean brand relationships, and avoid delays in partnerships.

Invitations are how [Network](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/network/network-what-it-does-and-where-to-start) partnerships start. Learn more about the capability in [Brand Partner Invitations and Permissions](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/network/brand-partner-invitations-and-permissions).

## Open your invitations

1. In your Business Account, go to **Manage** > **Network**.
2. Select the brand category tab: **Retail Brands**, **Consumer Brands**, or **Media & Entertainment Brands**.

Each tab lists the invitations you sent and the ones you received in one table, with a **Status** column. Each row's **3-dot menu** depends on its status:

- **Invite Sent**, on an invitation you sent: **Resend Invite**, **Cancel Invite**, and **View Details**.
- **Rejected**, on an invitation you sent: **Edit Brand** and **View Details**.
- Any other row: **View Details**.
  ![The Sent list with three 3-dot menus open: an Invite Sent row offers Resend Invite and Edit Brand, an Active row only Edit Brand, and one Resend Invite is disabled with a countdown tooltip.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/2675521e1e8975b42a83a38eb49cfd089c4eab4a-1440x879.jpg)
  *Which actions appear depends on the invitation's status.*

Each invitation shows under the tab it was created from, for both brands: **Retail Brands**, **Consumer Brands**, or **Media & Entertainment Brands**.

## Resend an invitation

After each email, **Resend Invite** stays disabled for 1 day, and a tooltip shows when you can resend. Use it to follow up on brands that haven't responded.

1. Click the **3-dot menu** on an **Invite Sent** invitation.
2. Click **Resend Invite** to open the email selection window.
3. Add or remove recipients. You can add multiple email addresses.
4. Click **Send**.

   *Step 4: Add or remove recipients in Send to before you click Send.*

Genuin re-triggers the invitation without creating a duplicate.

*Watch for the success or failure notification after you click Send.*

## Edit a rejected invitation

You can edit an invitation you sent after the other brand rejects it. Use this to correct details such as a wrong email address, then send it again.

1. Click the **3-dot menu** on a **Rejected** invitation you sent.
2. Click **Edit Brand**.
3. Update the details. You can't edit the brand name or the brand handle.
   ![The brand panel opened from Edit Brand, headed Add Media Brand, with Brand Relationship options and the Brand Handle and Brand Name fields greyed out above Contact Emails, phone, and website.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/b5fe1707732c70c7ced39bf37ac656be23dc25cd-1439x1257.jpg)
   *Step 3: Brand Handle and Brand Name are greyed out; update the other details.*
4. Send the invitation again by email.
   ![The Notification step of the brand panel, with Email checked and SMS unchecked under Invitation, an email template preview, Customize Template and Add your provider buttons, and the Invite button.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/442431c24eedd198c1173156da0b30383d99966e-1440x953.jpg)
   *Step 4: Email is the delivery method. Click Invite to send the edited invitation.*

An **Updated Invite sent** notification confirms it.

![The Sent list with an Updated Invite sent notification reading Invitation has been sent with updated info, and the edited US Weekly invitation still Pending.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/91bb3b868d522697699c77a9b1245529f96e1611-1440x877.jpg)
*The Updated Invite sent notification confirms the edited invitation went out.*

Every edit triggers a new invitation, so check the brand data before you send.

## Cancel a sent invitation

Cancel an invitation that's still waiting for the other brand.

1. Click the 3-dot menu on an **Invite Sent** invitation.
2. Click **Cancel Invite**.
3. Confirm the cancellation.

The invitation is canceled, and its row is removed from the list altogether. Canceled isn't a status.

## Respond to a received invitation

1. Click the **3-dot menu** on an **Invite Received** invitation, then click **View Invite**.
   ![The Received list with 3-dot menus open: the Invite Received row offers View Invite, while Active and Rejected rows offer View Details.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/b7901fd8c58cbeb05a239913448b4695815a531a-1440x876.jpg)
   *Step 1: View Invite appears in the 3-dot menu of invitations you haven't answered yet.*
2. Click **Accept** or **Reject**.

   *Step 2: Review the brand, relationship type, and access requests before you accept or reject.*
   ![The Received list with a success notification confirming you became a brand partner with @walmart, and a Failed to accept the invite notification asking you to try again.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/925857014f81bc18383d0b38679b9ef9119139ee-1440x879.jpg)
   *Step 2: A notification tells you whether your response went through.*

You can't change content access on a received invitation. You accept or reject it as sent.

## Filter and search invitations

Filter either list to find invitations quickly, which helps when you manage a large partner network.

- **Brands Destination**: Find a specific brand.
  ![The Filter panel on the Sent list with Brands selected, showing a search box, All Brands, and checkboxes for retail brands such as Lowe's and Home Depot.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/db341d60144fcb9e0c2494624088c4e76b52f2dc-1440x880.jpg)
  *Click Filter, then Brands Destination, to narrow the list to specific brands.*
- **Status**: Show **Active**, **Rejected**, **Invite Sent**, or **Invite Received** relationships. Filter by **Invite Sent** to track the invitations still waiting for a response.
  ![The Status tab of the Filters panel, with Select All and a checkbox for each status.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/847b15e33bfa473567efd9329b81a6970ada4c3c-510x283.jpg)
  *Pick one or more statuses to show: Active, Rejected, Invite Sent, or Invite Received.*
- **Relationship**: Show one kind of relationship. Learn about the types in [Brand relationship types and access control](https://begenuin.com/developers/browse-by-products/network/how-does-brand-relationship-type-and-access-control-work-in-the-network-module).
  ![The Relationship tab of the Filters panel, with Select All, a 0 of 4 count, and checkboxes for Partner, Holding Company, House Brand, and Aspire to Partner.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/lnrtvsvr/development/bc1bfedf83610b49cb255b7e97f61f57a32526ed-510x315.jpg)
  *Relationship filters by the four relationship types.*

You can also search either list by brand name or handle. Both lists are paginated, and their columns can't be sorted.

## Limitations

- **Resend is time-restricted**: After each email, you can resend an invitation only once 1 day has passed.
- **No duplicates**: Resending re-triggers the same invitation instead of creating a new one.
- **Edit after a rejection**: You can edit an invitation's brand details only after it's rejected. On an **Active** relationship, you can still update content access and add social handles from **View Details**.
- **Name and handle are fixed**: Editing an invitation doesn't change the brand name or brand handle.
- **Edits resend**: Every edit triggers a new invitation.
