POST /v1/invitations

Invite a user to a portfolio.

Params

To invite a user, a data body must be provided. Data can be provided in three formats: XML, JSON and query string. To specify data type of XML or JSON add the Content-type: application/(json|xml) header to request headers. If you want to provide query string simply skip the Content-type header.

All params should be sent in the invitation namespace, e.g.:

XML

<invitation>
  <identifiers type="array">
    <identifier>member_1@domain.com</identifier>
    <identifier>member_2@domain.com</identifier>
  </identifiers>
  <role>100</role>
</invitation>

JSON

{"invitation":{"identifiers":["member_1@domain.com","member_2@domain.com"],"role":100}}

Query string

invitation[role]=100&invitation[identifiers][]=member_1@domain.com&...

Examples

For example purposes we use a JSON body

{"invitation":{"identifiers":["member_1@domain.com", "member_2@domain.com"],"role":100}}

Request XML, using cURL utility:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer _token" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"invitation":{"identifiers":["new_member@domain.com"],"role":100}}' https://api.assembla.com/v1/invitations.xml?portfolio=_portfolio_subdomain
