Invitation emails are a critical component to bring partners on board as B2B collaboration users in Azure AD. While it’s [not required that you send an email to invite someone using B2B collaboration](add-user-without-invite.md), doing so gives the user all the information they need to make a decision about whether to accept your invite. It also gives them a link they can always refer to in the future when they need to return to your resources.

The email starts with a brief warning to the user about phishing, alerting them that they should only accept invitations they're expecting. It’s good practice to make sure the partners you’re inviting will not be surprised by your invitation by mentioning it to them ahead of time.

The email includes the name and primary domain associated with the organization sending the invitation. This information should help the invitee make an informed decision about accepting the invitation. If the inviter includes a message as part of their invitation when they [invite a guest user to the directory, group, or app](add-users-administrator.md) or when they [use the invitation API](customize-invitation-api.md), the message is highlighted in the main section of the email. Also included are the inviter’s name and profile image if they’ve set one. The message itself is a text area, so for security reasons, it doesn't process HTML tags.
