Lindsey from the Discourse team is seeking feedback on how users utilize the invite feature in their communities, inviting participation in a poll with options including using invite links, email invites, bulk invites, or opting in for further discussion Lindsey. One user, anon48433008, shares their experience, noting that while the current system allows resending all invites, managing large numbers of pending invites is cumbersome. They suggest improving the resend functionality by allowing users to select and resend invites in smaller batches (e.g., 100 at a time) or delete them based on time frames, similar to how private messages are managed. The user also mentions that changing the invitation text may have contributed to higher sign-ups after re-inviting, and highlights that despite having only 148 users on a two-month-old forum, the invite feature has been effective anon48433008.

How have you used Discourse’s invite feature in your community?
I’d like to put an idea out with respect to how the resend invites works, I’d like to see it work somewhat like the PM’s do, with those you can bulk select
would be preferred in smaller runs, when I had fewer pending, don’t recall the number, I used that option once and was surprised how many sign-ups I got, they’d already received one yet the re-invite made a big difference.
I did change the original invitation text and that may have made a difference itself, but it would be nice to select 100 a time (or however many) and resend, or delete even, removing from a certain time frame for instance
As to success of the feature I have
and only 148 users, on a two month old forum,
I’d share more but am having a good day.
