Verify whether the inviteeEmail of the indicated MembershipInvitation is associated with the authenticated user.

If it is, the response body will contain an InviteeVerificationSignedToken.

If it is not, (in phase 1 the server just responds with a 403) the response body will be null and an identity verification email containing a link will be sent to the inviteeEmail of the indicated MembershipInvitation. The link will contain a serialized InviteeVerificationSignedToken.

This call will only succeed if the indicated MembershipInvitation has a null inviteeId and a non null inviteeEmail.

Set the inviteeId of a MembershipInvitation.

A valid InviteeVerificationSignedToken must have an inviteeId equal to the id of the authenticated user and a membershipInvitationId equal to the id in the URI.

This call will only succeed if the indicated MembershipInvitation has a null inviteeId and a non null inviteeEmail.

  • Which users create invitations, when they create them, and from what teams they create them.
    • These statistics are captured by the EmailMembershipInvitation MembershipInvitation (formerly MembershipInvtnSubmission) model, which is stored in the database.
  • How many invitations are accepted and when they are accepted.
    • There is no easy way to track
    • this.
    How many invitees choose to register a new account and how many choose to sign in.
      We know the total number of membership
    • when the invitation to the team is accepted, but we can know how many times the invitee will use the email link to create a new account or sign in to their existing account. This is essentially the number of times that PUT /membershipInvitation/{id}/inviteeId is called.
  • How many invitees choose to register a new account and how many choose to sign in.
    • We know the total number of membership invitations created from the number of POST /emailMembershipInvitation/{id}/membershipInvitation requests.
    • We know the total number of invitees who chose to register a new account from the number of POST /emailMembershipInvitation/{id}/account/emailValidation requests.
    • We can derive the total number of invitees who chose to sign in with an existing account from the above two numbers.

Implementation outline

Phase 1

...

  • We can know how often invitees attempt to sign in using an email address that is not associated with the inviteeEmail of the MembershipInvitation by looking at how often GET /membershipInvitation/{id}/inviteeVerificationSignedToken calls respond with 403 status.

Implementation outline

Phase 1

I expect that in most cases, invitees will choose to sign in or register with the invited email address. I'll refer to this as the "happy" case.
