# Invite someone

> Invite an email address (owner, admin).

Mails `<inviter> invited you to <display_name> on Zode` with a link
`https://console.zode.dev/invite?token=<token>`. The token (32 random
bytes, base64url) is single use, valid 7 days, stored as SHA-256 only
and never returned or audited. No member row exists until it is
accepted. Admins cannot invite as admin (403). Errors: 400
`invalid_email`, `invalid_request` (role), `personal_workspace`; 409
`already_member`, `invite_pending` (resend it instead); 429
`rate_limited` (30 invite mails per workspace per hour, resends
included); 503 `email_unavailable`. Audited as `invite.create`.
