Invite link now available in the sidebar

For our community, which we want to be by invite only, we want to be able to designate which topic post and which group the invites take the new person. We do not want to have to rely on the members who have invite privileges to remember or ensure they adjust invites to the appropriate topic post and group for anyone coming into the community. Based upon historical data from the platform where we first started before moving to a discourse platform, most will just open an invite and send it not making any adjustments or changes, and this allows the new members to be in areas they should not be in yet, plus then they don’t see the first topic post we want them to see that provides directions to them on what to do first, second, third, etc. Is there a setting somewhere that makes the invites members send follow what we want it to follow.

We could use “types” of invites as well, so if they want to send an invite to a person brand new to the topic of the community they would send, say, a “member invite” but if they want to send an invite to someone who provides supporting services to members of the community they would send perhaps a “supporting invite”, as those people would be sent to a different group and initial topic post. Again, ideally, these would be already pre-set for members to use so the invitees go to the appropriate place and group without making the members change settings or remember to make the appropriate choices.

If these options are available somewhere, I haven’t found them.
