Few things still missing here, @techapj is on it. 1. The invite button still does not appear for private topics, but should, **only if you are an admin**. Presumably admin will be smart enough to include the right groups so the user can actually see the topic they’re being invited to.. we hope 😉 2. Right now there is zero topic context included in a topic invite… _but there should be_. I [wrote up a spec to improve the topic invite email](https://meta.discourse.org/t/improve-topic-invites/17184) to include the first para of the topic as context. 3. I don’t know that I support having the _entire topic_ included in the invite email. I think for that you should use the API, and maybe @techapj can write up a howto sample for that after he’s done with #1 and #2 above. Remember there is a distinction between “pushing the invite button” which exists on - your user page, in the invites section, if you have trust level 2+ or are a staff member - every topic, if it is a public topic and you have trust level 2+ or are a staff member - private topics, if you are an admin .. and using the bulk invite upload facility, which exists only on your user page, if you are an admin. **Behind the scenes they are the same code** , of course, it’s just a question of whether you want to push a button 10, 100, or a thousand times.. 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/some-proposed-improvements-to-user-invites/17185)._
