# Adding External Invitees
### Adding Invitees
When creating or editing an appointment in Daylite, you can seamlessly add an external person from outside of your company as an invitee to the appointment. You can distinguish internal invitees (a) from external invitees (b) from the icon accompanying their name in the appointment card.
### Invitee Status Menu
You will see more details and options regarding the invitation of an external invitee by clicking the status text to the right of the invitee token. The following items are shown:
* Current invitation status
* Sending Invitation, Invitation Sent, Email Not Delivered, etc
* Invitee’s name and email address: used for invitation/update emails
* Required: mark an invitee's attendance as required/optional
* Change Response: manually set response for this invitee
* Resend Invitation (or “Send Invitation” if not sent yet)
### Required/Optional Invitees
An invitee can be marked as **required** or **optional** for a meeting (this is informational only and doesn’t change any functionality). The default is “required," however, this can be changed when adding an invitee or editing an appointment later, by clicking the status text to the right of the invitee token and selecting "Optional". The status text beside an invitee will then show “(Opt)”

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.daylite.app/help/learn/build-relationships/organizing-meetings-with-external-invitees/adding-external-invitees.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
