# Resend a pending invite

`POST /invite/{id}/resend`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.elaichi.ai`
- URL: `https://api.elaichi.ai/invite/{id}/resend`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Mints a fresh token and a fresh 7-day expiry for a pending invite, swapped onto the same row — the invite id is unchanged and the previous link stops working. The answer to "the invite email never arrived": creating the same invite again is refused as a duplicate (`409`), so this is the route that sends a new link. The raw `token` comes back once, as on create. The caller's own grant ceiling is re-checked against the invite's role, so resending can never hand out a role the caller could not grant. Requires `member:manage`. A browser session must also pass a fresh step-up reauthentication in the app (without it the call answers `428 step_up_required`). An organization API token is not challenged.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Headers

- `X-Organization-Id` string

## Response `200`

Resent

- object
  - `id` string: Invite id (`inv_…`).
  - `email` string, email: Lowercased at creation.
  - `role_ids` string[]: The single role (`role_…`) the invitee receives on acceptance.
  - `team_ids` string[]: Teams (`team_…`) they are added to.
  - `status` string: Lifecycle state; only `pending` invites can still be accepted.
  - `expires_at` string, date-time: Seven days after creation.
  - `invited_by` string, nullable: User id (`usr_…`) of the inviter.
  - `created_at` string, date-time
  - `updated_at` string, date-time
  - `token` string: Raw invite token — returned once, never retrievable again.
  - `email_sent` boolean: False when no invite email went out (the token still works).
