Invite people to a group

There are two ways to grow a group: invite friends directly, or share an invite link. A link works even for people who've never used Latte before.

Before you start

Inviting needs the right privileges — you'll see the invite controls if your role in the group allows it.

  1. Open the group from your Chat list and open its Members section.

  2. To invite friends directly: use Invite friends to join the group, pick the friends you want, then confirm the prompt asking whether to invite them.

    {

  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/chats/groups/{groupId}",
  "actions": [
    {
      "pom": {
        "page": "GroupPage",
        "call": "openInviteFriends"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "invite-friends-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

  3. To invite by link: click Create Invite Link. Optionally set an expiry date and a maximum number of uses, then generate the link and copy it.

  "route": "/chats/groups/{groupId}",
  "actions": [
    {
      "pom": {
        "page": "GroupPage",
        "call": "openCreateInviteLink"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "external-invite-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}
Good to know

An invite link can bring in people who don't have Latte yet — they'll be guided to sign in and land straight in the group. You can cap how many times a link works and when it expires.
