# Invite a member

`POST /api/v1/manage/members/invites`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://fillo.so`
- URL: `https://fillo.so/api/v1/manage/members/invites`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Invite someone to the workspace by email, with an optional role (defaults to member). They receive an email and can join with that role, which makes this outward-facing (Tier B). An `fsk_` key has no session, so it acts as the human who minted it: their live role is the anti-escalation ceiling — a key can never invite above what its creator could grant today — and a key whose creator was removed or demoted is refused with 403. Scope: members:manage.

## Request body

- object
  - `email` string, email, required
  - `role` 'owner' | 'admin' | 'member': Defaults to member.

## Response `201`

The created invitation.

- object
  - `invitation` object, required
    - `id` string, required
    - `email` string, required
    - `role` 'owner' | 'admin' | 'member', required
    - `status` string, required: Better Auth's invitation status, e.g. "pending".
    - `expiresAt` string, date-time, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request (e.g. a body on a GET/DELETE, or a missing required query parameter).
- `401`: Missing, malformed, unknown, revoked, or expired key.
- `403`: The key is valid but lacks the required scope.
- `404`: No such resource in this project (returned instead of 403 for ids in other projects).
- `409`: The request was understood but refused in this state — an unmet precondition, or a confirm value that did not match. Nothing was changed.
- `413`: The request body exceeded the 16 KiB management cap.
- `429`: Per-key (120/min), per-workspace (240/min), or per-IP (300/min) rate limit exceeded. Retry after the Retry-After header.
