users.admin.invite

This method sends invitation to a new user by email. This endpoint uses a legacy token to authenticate. Please make sure you are using this token type and not one of the newer types.

Arguments

This method has the URL https://slack.com/api/users.admin.invite and follows the Slack Web API calling conventions.

Argument Example Required Description
token xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx Required Authentication token (Requires scope: 'client')
email [email protected] Required Email address of the new user
channels C1234567890,G12345678 Optional Comma-separated list of IDs (not names!) for channels, which the new user will auto-join. Both channel IDs for public channels and group IDs for private chanels work.
real_name John Doe Optional Prefilled input for the "Full name" field on the "new user registration" page.
resend true Optional Resend the invitation email if the user has already been invited and the email was sent some time ago.
restricted true Optional Invite a guest that can use multiple channels
ultra_restricted true Optional Invite a guest that can use one channel only
expiration_ts 1510863690 Optional Set the expiration timestamp for when the guest account will automatically be disabled

Hints

  • Please make sure to use a legacy token with this API method. It will not work with any other token type.
  • Sending an invite to an email address will only work once. Additional requests to the same email address will be ignored. However, if the invite is still pending you can remove it (through the admin interface) and sent another one.

Response

You will receive a standard Slack API response in JSON as described here. For example if successful you get:

{
"ok": true
}

channel_not_found Provided channel ID does not match a real channel
