Good day.

Scenario is user A messaged user B. User B invites user C to the message. An email notification triggered the invite but on email, it wrongly reference user A as the one who initiated the invitation, where it should be user B.

On the example below, Dummy initiated the invite but Admin was tagged as the one who invited on email.

This bug gives confusion to people who got invited into, thinking he was invited by user, and user A not knowing this, when in fact user B did it. Given that it can be seen on UI, I think it’s better to fix the email notification for consistency.
