New invite link should work for existing users

as well as have that existing account added to any groups specified.

Indeed! I highlighted this issue last year soon after the new invite system was rolled out:

Multiple Use Invite Links

I so love this feature - it is super useful and we’ll be utilising it a lot over the next two years. I’ve noticed a problem for my users: if a user who is already signed in to Discourse on that browser attempts to use the link, they get this message: [image] This means that my group owner (who has been sending the link about) has to instead add them to the group using the Group page. No biggy, but it means unnecessary confusion and emails flying about just when we are trying to make a good 1s…

I’d love to see it addressed as it is a major hiccough in the quest to bring people into our communities.
