# membership-confirm template

The email is sent to a user when they are invited to a group.

They must accept the invitation using the link provided in the email before they become a group member. Until then, they appear as a *‘**pending*’ member of the group.

It is also possible for a user to accept an invitation directly through the PageSeeder user interface.

## Email headers

This message sets the following headers by default:

| Name | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `Auto-Submitted` | `auto-generated` |
| `From` | Inviter or group, see [From address](/guide/configuration/emails/from.md) |
| `Sender` | `pageseeder@emaildomain` |
| `Subject` | `[`*group name*`] Group invitation` |
| `To` | Email address of invited member |

## XML

PageSeeder produces the following XML for the XSLT template:

```xml

<notification template="membership-confirm"
              emaildomain="ps.pageseeder.com"
              hosturl="https://ps.pageseeder.com">
