Create a connection: Create an invitation

Create a connection to allow communication between 2 wallets

From the Issuer

To create a connection between two wallets, you need to create an invitation

• From the Issuer collection, create a new POST request. Enter the value {{base_URL}}/connections/create-invitation

• In the Body tab, then in the raw tab copy this json:

{
  "multiUse": true,
  "label": "YourLabel"
}

When the "multiUse" variable is set to "true", this invitation can be reused multiple times. If you prefer this invitation to be used only once, replace "true" with "false"

• Save your request and click on SEND

• The response will be the invitation you can provide to anyone you want to connect to. You can provide it by any channel you prefer (WhatsApp, QRcode, email, SMS...)
