# The Backend OrganizationInvitation object

The Backend `OrganizationInvitation` object is similar to the [OrganizationInvitation](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/types/organization-invitation.md) object as it's the model around an Organization invitation. However, the Backend `OrganizationInvitation` object is different in that it's used in the [Backend API](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/model/OrganizationInvitation){{ target: '_blank' }} and is not directly accessible from the Frontend API.
