Hi,

I’d like to suggest that the Topic Invite Feature:

 ![39%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/c/fc91857a78c6e40d26345ff2babacbc14831e293.png)

Be enhanced to include the option of writing a personal message.

It would be nice to be able to say to a colleague or a friend or whomever _why_ I am inviting them to that particular topic.

That’s already possible when you invite someone via email.

That’s great!

I think it would also be nice if this was possible when using the Invite button at the bottom of a Topic. That way a member can explain to another member why they think this Topic might be of interest to them.

Not possible, as tne notification delivered to existing users has no space for a message, it’s just a title.
