Invite users to Kinde (and organization) through the API

Hello at Kinde!
I am looking for a way for already existing users (inside Kinde and in a organization) to send an invitation to colleagues to invite them into their organization. I can't find any API documentation on anything long those lines. Am I out of luck here?

Thanks!

Hey!

Unfortunately, right now, Kinde does not have the functionality to send an invite email to a user; it is on our roadmap to do so.

The current work around would be:

Create a user via Kinde API
Add new user to organization via Kinde API
Set off an email notification via a tool like Mailjet or Sendgrid with a link to your login page
When the user signs in, Kinde will automatically pick up that the user exists, get them to verify their email with an OTP, and set a password if needed.
User progresses into the assigned organisation

Would having the ability to send off email invite notifications be really important to you?

Hi @Andre @ Kinde

Thanks for your reply. No, it is more the ability to create a invitation link that would allow us to generate a invitation to an email (that is pre-invited) to the given organisation. That way we can send that email ourselves.

Thanks for clarification Mehanika, I suspect our build of this feature would also include a link

We don't have a timeline for it yet, but the team is working on some parallel functionality that we are aiming to roll out around Oct.

Hi, I'm starting on a SaaS product and would like to know if I need to create something on my own or it's already in progress towards Oct release? Thx!

If you are okay with waiting until we roll out the feature in October, you could also use our webhooks to call your email sender. https://docs.kinde.com/integrate/webhooks/add-manage-webhooks/#_top

Hi, do you have any more information on this feature? I am looking for a way for users to invite people they know to the app via an email. Want to check the status before I build something myself via the API and an email tool as you suggested in your first response
