Invite Resource


(error)

Danger

Programmable Chat has been deprecated and is no longer supported. Instead, we'll be focusing on the next generation of chat: Twilio Conversations. Find out more about the EOL process here(link takes you to an external page).

If you're starting a new project, please visit the Conversations Docs to begin. If you've already built on Programmable Chat, please visit our Migration Guide to learn about how to switch.

An Invite resource for Programmable Chat represents an invitation for a User (within the Service instance) to join a Channel and become a Member.
