'Invite to Join' feature launched to invite and add members to Office 365 Groups
We already had a discussion on this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Groups/Private-Group-Request-to-Join-and-Invite-others/m-p/45920
Good to see it's avaialble for Outlook too now. Did you fix the spamming issue (clicking the link generates email every time)? :)
In the other thread, a demand for "pending" list was expressed.

Thanks for your feedback Vasil.
For public groups, clicking on the link automatically joins the member to the group. For private groups, we send an email to owners to approve the member.
We are exploring options on owners approving pending requests in bulk in email and within the groups experience. We will keep you posted when we start on this.

I don't necessarily see the need for a Pending list, but if I get spammed every time (the same) user clicks the invite link, I will not be very happy. So please fix that part if you havent already :)

Thanks Vasil, We are looking into this feature. We do not have a timeline for this yet. We will revert back when we do.
