# Invite a user to join an organization

`POST /v1beta/organizations/{organization_id}/invites`

Creates an invitation and sends an email to the specified address. Returns FAILED_PRECONDITION if the email belongs to an existing organization member. Idempotency: If a PENDING invitation already exists for this email, the existing invitation is resent with a new token and refreshed expiration. Expired or revoked invitations are ignored - a new invitation is created.

## Path parameters

- `organization_id` string, required — Organization to invite the user to. Pattern: org_[0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-z]{26}

## Request body

- object — CreateOrganizationInviteRequest contains the data needed to create an invitation.
  - `email` string, email, required — Email address of the recipient.
  - `idempotency_key` string, nullable — Reserved for future use. Currently, idempotency is based on email matching: if a PENDING invitation exists for the same email in this organization, that invitation is resent rather than creating a duplicate.
  - `message` string, nullable — Optional custom message from the sender (max 2000 bytes to support ~500 multibyte characters).
