# Accept an Invitation

Use this article to create your OX account after receiving an invitation to an existing organization.

#### Accept an invitation and create your account

**To accept an invitation:**

1. Open the invitation email and click **Accept invitation**.
2. In the dialog, select how you want to create your account.
3. Click **Continue**. OX logs you in and opens your organization's **Dashboard**.

#### Notes

Your available sign-in options depend on your organization’s IT policies.\
If your organization uses SSO, the dialog may look different or show fewer account-creation methods.

**Important!**

Your organization's administrator and IT policies determine the options available for signing up and logging in. Therefore, the dialog you see may differ significantly from the one pictured above, especially if your organization uses single sign-on (SSO) with a service like Okta or SAML.
