dsc invite¶
Send invitations to one or many email addresses.
dsc invite send¶
Creates a single invite and prints the magic link Discourse generates. --group is repeatable to add the invitee to multiple groups on accept. --topic lands them on a specific topic. --message attaches a custom note.
dsc invite send myforum alice@example.com
dsc invite send myforum bob@example.com -g 42 -g 17 -t 1525 -m "Welcome to the team"
dsc -n invite send myforum charlie@example.com # dry run, no API call
dsc invite bulk¶
Iterates the same single-invite endpoint per email. Input is one email per line; blank lines and # comments (full-line and inline) are ignored; duplicates collapse. Reads stdin when path is omitted or -. Group / topic / message flags apply to every invite. Shows a progress bar.
Honours --dry-run, which prints the cleaned email list without sending.
dsc invite bulk myforum ./onboarding.txt -g 42
printf 'alice@example.com\nbob@example.com\n' | dsc invite bulk myforum
dsc -n invite bulk myforum ./onboarding.txt
Notes¶
- Requires an admin API key; non-admin keys can only invite themselves.
- The bulk command iterates client-side (one HTTP call per email). On large lists the cross-cutting 429 retry handles transient rate limits transparently; if you hit the per-IP nginx limiter you may want to break the file into chunks.
- The Discourse-side equivalent of bulk-adding existing users to a group (no invite, no email) is
dsc group add.
