Important Salesforce to Salesforce is scheduled for retirement as of Spring ’27. See [Salesforce to Salesforce Retirement](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=005103355&type=1&language=en_US).

1. Click the link in the invitation email to go to the Salesforce login page.
2. Log in as the System Administrator or as a user with the “Manage Connections” permission.
3. Review the details of the invitation.
4. Click **Accept** or **Decline**.
    
    If you aren't sure whether you want to accept or decline, click **Decide Later**. The invitation displays on the Connections tab with a connection status of Invitation Received. You can easily accept or decline it at a later date.

When you accept or reject an invitation, the company that invited you receives an email notifying them of your decision. The content of that email can be configured by changing the appropriate email template.
