Pending invitations

AI translated from the German original

Clean up invitations that were not accepted automatically.

If a guest does not accept the invitation, a guest account without use remains in Microsoft Entra ID. Seamless only cleans up such accounts if a rule is set up in the guest template, see Pending invitations. For example:

  • flag as pending after 7 days
  • delete after 30 days

In the guest list, the Access state column shows these guests as Invitation pending with the time until deletion, see Status in the guest list.

We recommend informing the guest before deletion. Build an extension with the user.report.invitationAcceptance webhook, e.g. with an Azure Logic App:

  1. Seamless flags the invitation as pending and sends the event.
  2. Your Logic App reads the guest’s email address via Microsoft Graph using the guest ID.
  3. It sends the guest an email: if they do not accept the invitation, their access will be deleted.
