Create a reusable invitation link
POST https://team.ifastnet.com/api/v1/invites/multiuse
Create a reusable invitation link
which can be used to invite new users to the organization.
Changes: In Zulip 8.0 (feature level 209), added support for non-admin
users with permission
to use this endpoint. Previously, it was restricted to administrators only.
In Zulip 6.0 (feature level 126), the invite_expires_in_days
parameter was removed and replaced by invite_expires_in_minutes.
In Zulip 5.0 (feature level 117), added support for passing null as
the invite_expires_in_days parameter to request an invitation that never
expires.
In Zulip 5.0 (feature level 96), the invite_expires_in_days parameter was
added which specified the number of days before the invitation would expire.
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import zulip
# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")
# Create reusable invitation link
request = {
"invite_expires_in_minutes": 60 * 24 * 10, # 10 days
"invite_as": 400,
"stream_ids": [1, 8, 9],
}
result = client.call_endpoint(url="/invites/multiuse", method="POST", request=request)
print(result)
curl -sSX POST https://team.ifastnet.com/api/v1/invites/multiuse \
-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
--data-urlencode invite_expires_in_minutes=14400 \
--data-urlencode invite_as=600 \
--data-urlencode 'stream_ids=[1, 2]'
Parameters
invite_expires_in_minutes integer | null optional
Example: 14400
The number of minutes before the invitation will expire. If null, the
invitation will never expire. If unspecified, the server will use a default
value (based on the INVITATION_LINK_VALIDITY_MINUTES server setting, which
defaults to 14400, i.e. 10 days) for when the invitation will expire.
Changes: New in Zulip 6.0 (feature level 126). Previously, there was an
invite_expires_in_days parameter, which specified the duration in days instead
of minutes.
invite_as integer optional
Example: 600
The organization-level role of the user that is
created when the invitation is accepted.
Possible values are:
- 100 = Organization owner
- 200 = Organization administrator
- 300 = Organization moderator
- 400 = Member
- 600 = Guest
Users can only create invitation links for
roles with equal or stricter restrictions
as their own. For example, a moderator cannot invite someone to be an owner
or administrator, but they can invite them to be a moderator or member.
Changes: In Zulip 4.0 (feature level 61), added support for inviting
users as moderators.
Must be one of: 100, 200, 300, 400, 600.
Defaults to 400.
stream_ids (integer)[] optional
Example: [1, 2]
A list containing the IDs of the streams that the
newly created user will be automatically subscribed to if the invitation
is accepted. If unspecified, it will be set to empty list. If the list is
empty, then the new user will not be subscribed to any streams.
Defaults to [].
