# 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 <mark style="background-color:orange;">{{base\_URL}}/connections/create-invitation</mark>
* In the `Body` tab, then in the `raw` tab copy this json:

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

{% hint style="info" %}
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"
{% endhint %}

* 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...)

```
{
    "invitation": "eyJAdHlwZSI6ICJodHRwczovL2RpZGNvbW0ub3JnL291dC1vZi1iYW5kLzEuMS9pbnZpdGF0aW9uIiwgIkBpZCI6ICIzN2U5ODJhYS05MTVjLTQzNTUtOGI4My0xYmVlYWRmNWJhMDYiLCAiaGFuZHNoYWtlX3Byb3RvY29scyI6IFsiaHR0cHM6Ly9kaWRjb21tLm9yZy9kaWRleGNoYW5nZS8xLjAiXSwgImxhYmVsIjogImlzc3VlciIsICJzZXJ2aWNlcyI6IFsiZGlkOnNvdjphdmQ5TjNrQWpaWnA1bjRQMW9qYmYiXX0="
}
```

If you want to know what this invitation means, copy and paste it on this site: <https://jwt.io/>. The decoded version of the sample invitation is as follows:

```
{
  "@type": "https://didcomm.org/out-of-band/1.1/invitation",
  "@id": "37e982aa-915c-4355-8b83-1beeadf5ba06",
  "handshake_protocols": [
    "https://didcomm.org/didexchange/1.0"
  ],
  "label": "issuer",
  "services": [
    "did:sov:avd9N3kAjZZp5n4P1ojbf"
  ]
}
```
