Trying to make a generic invite

I still have the "validation failed’ error

Looks like we validate the invitation at time-of-use (which is actually an important thing to do).

@spdegabrielle

demote a staff user, or create an invite user

You could still create the invite as the system user. It’s not very personal… but you don’t want personal.

You can also edit the invite text.

@spdegabrielle

By comparison Discord communities have generic invites

That’s due to the fact that Discord communities literally have no other way to be found.

The Discourse equivalent to this is the site’s URL.

@maiki

https://forums.examples.org/you-are-invited

I think this is a great approach!

@maiki

Take that topic URL and create a permalink for it in Discourse, so https://forums.examples.org/you-are-invited → https://forums.example.org/t/welcome/1234.

Thanks this sounds good.

How do you create a permalink in discourse?

Ps I’m on a .discourse.group instance hosted by discourse so I don’t have access to the server.

How do you create a permalink in discourse?

You should be able to do so at /admin/customize/permalinks.
