# Create Invite

Invite a new member to the workspace by email.

Reuses the same invite creation and email-send flow as the in-product "Invite" action. `role` is optional and defaults to the workspace's configured default role.

Returns 409 if the email is already a member of the workspace or already has a pending invite.

Returns 403 if `role` is `organization_admin` and the caller doesn't already hold organization-admin access on this workspace - only an existing organization admin can invite another one. On a free-tier workspace, `role` must be `admin`; any other role returns 400.

Returns 403 if the workspace is on a self-service plan and this invite would exceed its seat limit, its billing subscription isn't set up yet, or its subscription status doesn't currently allow billing changes (e.g. past due).

Returns 400 if the workspace's SSO provider restricts allowed email domains and `email`'s domain isn't one of them.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.zenlytic.com/developers/api-reference/workspace-administration/invites/create-invite.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
