Inviting users to Discourse?

AI-generated summary

Claire1 is having trouble inviting users to a group discussion. Despite following the proper steps, email invites are not being received and invite links are returning an “invalid” error message. IAmGav suggests that the link may have expired or been revoked, but Claire1 notes that the link was tried immediately and still didn’t work. As the sole admin, Claire1 is unsure if permission issues may be the cause.

Hey! I’d appreciate input on how to invite users to join a group and participate in the discussion.
I’ve invited users by email and they never received the email. I’ve invited users via the link, and tried the link out myself, too, but when I click on it I just get the error “Your invite token is invalid. Please [contact staff]”

Sounds like the invite link expired or the invite link has been revoked.

Edit: Here is something that will help you explain invites

Thanks! Those are the steps I followed for email invites.

And when I tried using the link, I copied it, clicked on it and it was invalid instantly. There wasn’t really time for it to expire or be revoked. Maybe I didn’t have permissions to invite people? But I’m the only admin and I created the discussion board.
