My problem is that this request sends an email with the wrong template. At the current moment the template of which the email uses is:

What I want to use is the custom message version called:

When I put the key “user\_custom\_message” into the current template it gives me this error -

The email Template automatically changes, when you add a custom message to your invite request.  
The reason for your request not sending a custom message, is that you may already have send an invite to that specific Email. Discourse automatically just resend the first invite made to a Email, when the user has already been invited 🙂
