Users are seeking a way to create a group invite link in Discourse that is valid for an infinite number of users. Dorukhan_Akkaya wants to share a single URL to allow anyone in a WhatsApp group to join a corresponding group in their Discourse community. pfaffman suggests posting in #marketplace to find a plugin developer, as this is a frequent request. Shirly_Nowak asks about sharing a link that redirects to the admission question for a specific group. tobiaseigen provides a solution, stating that it is now possible to create an invite link with an expiration date far in the future and a customizable maximum number of uses, defaulting to 5000 but adjustable via site settings.
I want to share a link to existing groups to join their clones on my community.
For example there’s this ‘co-workers of accounting department’ group in whatsapp.
I created the same group in discourse.
I want to share a single url to this whatsapp group so that anyone in the whatsapp group (anyone that has access to this link) can signup to the community & join this group via a single url.
This is a frequent request. A plugin that would allow such a URL to be generated is a great idea (perhaps with a time limit and/or interface to delete them). If you’ve got a budget I’d encourage you to post in Marketplace.
Hi there, I wanted to pick up this issue. Does anybody know if it is possible to share a link that redirects to the admission question for a specific group?
I have a closed group in my community, and I would like to have the option of inviting some members via link in an email.
It is possible now to create an invite link and set the expiration date way into the future, even 100 years. The max number of times it can be set to be used is 5000 by default but can be increased to whatever you want via the invite link max redemptions limit site setting.
