# Asynchronous container invocation

{% note info %}

This feature is at the [Preview](../../overview/concepts/launch-stages.md) stage.

{% endnote %}

When creating a [container](container.md) revision, you can set up an asynchronous invocation of your container without waiting for the request to complete.

To invoke a container asynchronously, do the following:

* When creating a revision, specify the service account to invoke the container.
* When invoking, specify the `X-Ycf-Container-Integration-Type: async` header.

For this method, invocation headers will be provided to the [HTTP server](container.md#runtime). The HTTP status on successful invocation is `202`.

{% note warning %}

Containers do not support sending results to a Yandex Message Queue, but you can implement it inside the container.
