Invitations

Create an invitation

Scopemembers:write

Creates a single-use invitation for a person to join the account with the given account_role.

  • token: the acceptance secret, returned once and never readable again, so deliver it to the invitee. invitation_url is the ready-to-use link built from that same token.
  • grants: the companies a MEMBER starts with. Omit it, or send [], to invite them with no company access yet; an explicit null is rejected with 422. Grants are only valid for MEMBER, since OWNER and ADMIN reach every company implicitly.
  • account_role: OWNER cannot be invited. An account has exactly one owner, handed over only through PUT /v1/accounts/{account_id}/owner.
  • send_email: defaults to false, so BeeL sends no email and you deliver the token or invitation_url yourself. Set it to true to have the invitation emailed to invited_email as well.

POST
/v1/accounts/{account_id}/invitations
AuthorizationBearer <token>

Keys are prefixed beel_sk_, and each one carries the scopes it was created with: a key short of the scope an operation needs is answered 403. The scope an operation requires is shown next to its title, and the full catalogue lives in the Scopes reference.

Keys are created from the BeeL dashboard. They are secret credentials: do not share them or commit them to source control.

In: header

Path Parameters

account_idstring

Your own account, or an account you provisioned. It — not the credential — decides which account the operation acts on; a 403 is returned when you do not reach it, the same response an account that does not exist gets.

Formatuuid

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Idempotency key to prevent duplicates in sensitive operations.

  • Any unique client-generated string (e.g. an order id). A UUID also works but is not required
  • Allowed characters: letters, digits, _ and - (max 255 chars)
  • Retrying with the same key replays the first response when it was a success (2xx) or a server error (5xx): same status and body, plus the header Idempotency-Replay: true. After a 5xx, check whether the operation took effect before retrying with a new key
  • A 4xx is not stored: the key is released, so the corrected request can reuse it
  • Stored responses expire 24 hours after processing

The key is scoped per user and environment, and bound to the request body, so retrying after a network timeout replays the stored response instead of repeating the operation.

StatusCodeWhen
400INVALID_IDEMPOTENCY_KEYThe key breaks the format rules above.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PROCESSINGThe first request is still in flight. Wait for the Retry-After seconds (2) and retry with the same key.
409IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_MISMATCHThe key was already used with a different body. Use a new key.

Formatemail
Length1 <= length
account_rolestring

Who administers the account. Independent of access_level, which says how much access someone has to a given company.

OWNER — full control, including billing, API keys and transferring ownership. Exactly one per account, so it is never an accepted value when you SET a role (inviting a member or changing one's role): both reject it with 422 OWNER_ROLE_NOT_ASSIGNABLE. Ownership moves only through PUT /v1/accounts/{account_id}/owner. ADMIN — everything an OWNER can do, except transferring ownership. MEMBER — no account administration. Access to each company is granted individually and reported as access_level; a member only sees the companies granted to them.

Value in"OWNER" | "ADMIN" | "MEMBER"
send_email?boolean

If true, an invitation email with the acceptance link is sent to invited_email in addition to returning the token. Defaults to false (you deliver the token/link yourself).

Defaultfalse
grants?

Initial grants (only when account_role is MEMBER). Omit it, or send [], to invite with no company access yet (granted later). An explicit null is rejected with 422 VALIDATION_ERROR.

Default[]
