Hi guys, It’s possible to send bulk users invites through a link? instead of the guests receiving an invitation in your email? Thank you

But to install this plugin do I have to have a separate instance of Discourse? Because we are in the cloud version. Do you know about it?

@tophee with this plugin can I generate one link for lot of users? Or will generate one link per person?

[image] jenni_alencar: It’s possible to send bulk users invites through a link? No. This comes up several times a year. There is no way to have an invite link that can be used by more than one user. The use case is that you want a community to be mostly private, but having a URL that you can show on a slide at a conference and let people join is an acceptable level of privacy for the community. The easiest option is to allow anyone to sign up with “approve all users”, include a custom field with a secret word (e.g,. “myconference 2020”) and then just manually approve everyone who includes the secret word. After considering this problem for 4 years, it has just occurred to me that a plugin that would auto-approve people who used the secret word may be the best solution to this problem.

My idea is that everyone that I want to invite (60 people) has the best experience possible. Since I cannot put the site in public, I was thinking, instead of invite for email, send a unique link to everyone that they can register and access directly the community, without approval. There’s a way to define a secret word and everyone that puts this word is it automatically approved?

If you already know all their email addresses, why not use just the regular bulk-invite feature?

Because we are already going to send an invitation email for the product to these people, instead of sending the product invitation + invitation to the community (two emails), I wanted to send just one email with the link for the community + the invite for the product.

If you are manually sending the invites to the product, you could create the invite link for each email address on Discourse by selecting the ‘Copy Invite Link’ option when you create an invite: [image] The link that you copy could be added to your product invite.
