Types and Structure

The fields of an Invitation vary depending on the object that will be created with it. There are 6 different types of invitations:

• Meta Invitations

• Invitations for Edges

• Invitations for Tags

• Invitations for Group Edits

• Invitations for Note Edits

• Invitations for Invitation Edits

Meta Invitations

Meta Invitations are admin Invitations which are created when the venue is deployed and are available to venue organizers. There is only 1 available per venue and should be used with care and sparingly. Meta Invitations can modify any object in the system that is associated to the venue. Therefore, before using the Meta Invitation, make sure there is no other Invitation that can be used instead. Using an Invitation other than the Meta Invitation is preferred to avoid errors when modifying an object.

There is only 1 available per venue and should be used with care and sparingly.

Meta Invitations can modify any object in the system that is associated to the venue.

Meta Invitations have the structure shown below. They can be identified because of the property edit: true inside the invitation field.
