# Connect a client

> Connect with Delivery ID SUA-XXXX-XXXX, a connection code, or Send invitation. They must approve before you deliver.

Connect the client before you deliver. They must approve the connection first.

## Three ways

1. **Delivery ID** `SUA-XXXX-XXXX`: they copy it from their org. You enter it on **Deliver UAT** / **Clients**.
2. **Connection code:** another way to connect when the UI shows a code.
3. **Send invitation:** email them in. If they have no account, [this flow](/delivery/client-no-account).

## Then they approve

Status **PENDING** until they do. You cannot complete delivery on a pending connection. Other states: **ACTIVE**, **REVOKED**, **DECLINED**, **BLOCKED**.

You must also have a delivery **title** and a **project**. Plan must allow delivery. [Can't deliver](/troubleshooting/cant-deliver).

<Tip>
  Ask for the Delivery ID when you ask for staging credentials.
