## Get channel invitation preference

This action retrieves a user's [group channel](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/platform-api/v3/channel/channel-overview#2-channel-types-3-group-channel) invitation preference. Users are subject to both user-specific and application-wide invitation preferences. Of the two, the invitation preference set for a specific user takes precedence over [the default channel invitation preference](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/platform-api/v3/channel/setting-up-channels/get-default-invitation-preference).
