The “bulk invite” tool has a few hidden super-powers, including the ability to add groups to invitees and set a target topic. This is all explained on the howto document, but I know I didn’t discover this at first. Would it be worthwhile adding a small button next to the “bulk invite” button which links to that topic?
I thought about suggesting a modal popup with instructions directly inline, and the file upload button there, but I think that’d require a decent design, and would be the opportunity to do other awesome things like preview, paste directly, etc. – all of which I think should be out-of-scope for now.
…and I just discovered that there is, in fact, a link to this topic on that page – as long as you have no pending invites! (I had a whole bunch of expired ones which I just cleaned up.) Maybe that link could just become permanent above or below the pending table?
Awesome, thanks @techAPJ! It’s great to see small improvements and refinements like this moving so quickly, especially alongside some of the larger items.
Yes, you can customize bulk invite email content by customizing “Invite Forum Mailer” template, available at — /admin/customize/email_templates/invite_forum_mailer.
