invitedToGroups and invitedToApplications in Invitation API

Great find!

 

So how are you detecting that the user has accepted the invitation?  As you can't add them to a group or application until they do.

 

I believe this is because they're not actually created in AzureAD until they complete the invitation process.

 

Thanks

Craig

When you invite using the Azure AD B2B API - the user is added right away and updated when the redemption happens.

So you can go ahead and add them to groups as soon as you invite them using our API.

    Hi, I'm still actually interested in the answer to Craig's question.

     

    "how are you detecting that the user has accepted the invitation?"

     

    I have need to know whether a guest user has redeemed an invitation or not.  

     

    If they have redeemed, further communications should not talk about invitations, etc). If they have not yet redeemed, I should be sending a "did you miss our invite? here's another..".

     

    With further thought, I think this data should be interesting in both the Graph API, and the Azure Portal..

      Hi Craig - we will be exposing the redemption state in the APIs in the coming months. This is already available in the Azure Portal in the "Source" property. And you can resend the invitation from the portal.

        Hi Sarat, does the 'resend button' allow you to set the redirect URL or customize the email message? It doesn't look like it. I would guess that this resend button takes the user to the MyApps page, using the default invitation email format/messaging.

        Those are big reasons why we are using the API today. "Coming Months" is a little vague. can I press you for something a tiny bit more specific? beginning of Y2017Q3 for example? :)
