Invite a user

Invite a user

Creates an invitation for an email address and sends the invitation email with a link to sign up.

Note: Fails if the email address already has an invitation or belongs to an existing user. Invitations expire after a month by default.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.clerk.com/v1
• Endpoint: POST /invitations
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Bearer $CLERK_SECRET_KEY
• Get a key: https://dashboard.clerk.com/~/api-keys
• Docs: https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
