Invites

Invites allow you to add users to a channel with a pending state. The invited user receives a notification and can accept or reject the invite.

Unread counts are not incremented for channels with a pending invite.

Invite Users

val channelClient = client.channel("messaging", "general")

channelClient.inviteMembers(memberIds = listOf("nick")).enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    val channel: Channel = result.value
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

ChannelClient channelClient = client.channel("messaging", "general");

List<String> memberIds = Arrays.asList("thierry", "tommaso");
Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
data.put("invites", Arrays.asList("nick"));

channelClient.create(memberIds, data).enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    Channel channel = result.getOrNull();
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
 });

Accept an Invite

Call acceptInvite to accept a pending invite. You can optionally include a message parameter to post a system message when the user joins (e.g., "Nick joined this channel!").

channelClient.acceptInvite(
  message = "Nick joined this channel!"
).enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    val channel: Channel = result.value
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

channelClient.acceptInvite("Nick joined this channel!").enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    Channel channel = result.getOrNull();
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
});

Reject an Invite

Call rejectInvite to decline a pending invite. Client-side calls use the currently connected user. Server-side calls require a user_id parameter.

channelClient.rejectInvite().enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    // Invite rejected
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

channelClient.rejectInvite().enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    // Invite rejected
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
});

Query Invites by Status

Use queryChannels with the invite filter to retrieve channels based on invite status. Valid values are pending, accepted, and rejected.

Query Accepted Invites

val request = QueryChannelsRequest(
  filter = Filters.eq("invite", "accepted"),
  offset = 0,
  limit = 10
)
client.queryChannels(request).enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    val channels: List<Channel> = result.value
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

FilterObject filter = Filters.eq("invite", "accepted");
int offset = 0;
int limit = 10;
QuerySorter<Channel> sort = new QuerySortByField<>();
int messageLimit = 0;
int memberLimit = 0;
QueryChannelsRequest request = new QueryChannelsRequest(filter, offset, limit, sort, messageLimit, memberLimit);

client.queryChannels(request).enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    List<Channel> channels = result.getOrNull();
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
});

Query Rejected Invites

val request = QueryChannelsRequest(
  filter = Filters.eq("invite", "rejected"),
  offset = 0,
  limit = 10
)
client.queryChannels(request).enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    val channels: List<Channel> = result.value
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

FilterObject filter = Filters.eq("invite", "rejected");
int offset = 0;
int limit = 10;
QuerySorter<Channel> sort = new QuerySortByField<>();
int messageLimit = 0;
int memberLimit = 0;
QueryChannelsRequest request = new QueryChannelsRequest(filter, offset, limit, sort, messageLimit, memberLimit);

client.queryChannels(request).enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    List<Channel> channels = result.getOrNull();
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
});

Query Pending Invites

val request = QueryChannelsRequest(
  filter = Filters.eq("invite", "pending"),
  offset = 0,
  limit = 10
)
client.queryChannels(request).enqueue { result ->
  if (result is Result.Success) {
    val channels: List<Channel> = result.value
  } else {
    // Handle Result.Failure
  }
}

FilterObject filter = Filters.eq("invite", "pending");
int offset = 0;
int limit = 10;
QuerySorter<Channel> sort = new QuerySortByField<>();
int messageLimit = 0;
int memberLimit = 0;
QueryChannelsRequest request = new QueryChannelsRequest(filter, offset, limit, sort, messageLimit, memberLimit);

client.queryChannels(request).enqueue(result -> {
  if (result.isSuccess()) {
    List<Channel> channels = result.getOrNull();
  } else {
    // Handle error
  }
});
