Create team membership

Invite a new member to join your team. Provide an ID for existing users, or invite unregistered users using an email or phone number. If initiated from a Client SDK, Appwrite will send an email or sms with a link to join the team to the invited user, and an account will be created for them if one doesn't exist. If initiated from a Server SDK, the new member will be added automatically to the team.

You only need to provide one of a user ID, email, or phone number. Appwrite will prioritize accepting the user ID > email > phone number if you provide more than one of these parameters.

Use the url parameter to redirect the user from the invitation email to your app. After the user is redirected, use the Update Team Membership Status endpoint to allow the user to accept the invitation to the team.

Please note that to avoid a Redirect Attack Appwrite will accept the only redirect URLs under the domains you have added as a platform on the Appwrite Console.

Request
- teamId string
  required
  
  Team ID.
- roles array
  required
  
  Array of strings. Use this param to set the user roles in the team. A role can be any string. Learn more about roles and permissions. Maximum of 100 roles are allowed, each 32 characters long.
- email string
  
  Email of the new team member.
- userId string
  
  ID of the user to be added to a team.
- phone string
  
  Phone number. Format this number with a leading '+' and a country code, e.g., +16175551212.
- url string
  
  URL to redirect the user back to your app from the invitation email. This parameter is not required when an API key is supplied. Only URLs from hostnames in your project platform list are allowed. This requirement helps to prevent an open redirect attack against your project API.
- name string
  
  Name of the new team member. Max length: 128 chars.
