# Invite a member

POST https://api.getdial.ai/api/v1/members
Content-Type: application/json

Emails an invitation link to `email`. The invite is locked to that address: accepting it requires a verification code sent to that inbox, so holding the link alone grants nothing. The invite expires after 7 days; inviting an address that already has a pending invite re-sends it and refreshes the expiry.

Reference: https://docs.getdial.ai/api-reference/rest-api/members/invite-member

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Your Dial API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...`

## Request

### Body (application/json)

- `email` (string, required) — The address to invite. The invitation is locked to it.

## Response

### 201

The pending membership. An invitation email has been sent.

- `member` (object, required)
  - `id` (string, required, nullable) — The membership id, used to remove the member. Always `null` for the owner, who is the account's own email address and cannot be removed.
  - `email` (string, required)
  - `role` (enum, required)
    - Allowed values: `owner`, `member`
  - `status` (enum, required) — `pending` until the invitation is accepted. A pending member has no API key and no access. The owner is always `active`.
    - Allowed values: `pending`, `active`
  - `invitedByEmail` (string, optional, nullable) — Who sent the invitation. Null for the owner.
  - `invitedAt` (datetime, optional, nullable)
  - `acceptedAt` (datetime, optional, nullable) — When the invitation was accepted, or null while pending.
  - `lastActiveAt` (datetime, optional, nullable) — When this member's API key was last used, or null if never used.
