Partner invitations allow you to generate links for clients to connect their WhatsApp Business accounts to your project.

​
Create Invitation

const invitation = await zavu.invitations.create({
  clientName: "Acme Corp",
  clientEmail: "contact@acme.com",
  expiresInDays: 14,
});

console.log(invitation.id);  // jh7am5bng9p3v2x1k4r8
console.log(invitation.url); // https://dashboard.zavu.dev/invite/abc123xyz
console.log(invitation.status); // pending

​
With Phone Number Restrictions

Restrict which countries the client can register phone numbers from: 
const invitation = await zavu.invitations.create({
  clientName: "Acme Corp",
  clientEmail: "contact@acme.com",
  expiresInDays: 7,
  allowedPhoneCountries: ["US", "MX"],
});

​
Get Invitation

const { invitation } = await zavu.invitations.get({
  invitationId: "jh7am5bng9p3v2x1k4r8",
});

console.log(invitation.status);      // pending | in_progress | completed | expired | cancelled
console.log(invitation.clientName);  // Acme Corp
console.log(invitation.senderId);    // null (until completed)
console.log(invitation.expiresAt);   // 2025-01-15T00:00:00.000Z

​
List Invitations

const { items, nextCursor } = await zavu.invitations.list({});

for (const invitation of items) {
  console.log(invitation.id, invitation.clientName, invitation.status);
}

​
Filter by Status

const { items } = await zavu.invitations.list({
  status: "pending",
  limit: 50,
});

​
Pagination

let cursor: string | undefined;

do {
  const result = await zavu.invitations.list({
    limit: 50,
    cursor,
  });

  for (const invitation of result.items) {
    console.log(invitation.id);
  }

  cursor = result.nextCursor ?? undefined;
} while (cursor);

​
Cancel Invitation

Cancel an active invitation to prevent the client from using it: 
const { invitation } = await zavu.invitations.cancel({
  invitationId: "jh7am5bng9p3v2x1k4r8",
});

console.log(invitation.status); // cancelled
You cannot cancel a completed invitation. Once a sender is created, manage it through the senders API.

​
After Completion

When a client completes the signup flow, a sender is created in your project: 
const { invitation } = await zavu.invitations.get({
  invitationId: "jh7am5bng9p3v2x1k4r8",
});

if (invitation.status === "completed" && invitation.senderId) {
  // Use the sender to send messages
  await zavu.messages.send({
    to: "+14155551234",
    channel: "whatsapp",
    messageType: "template",
    content: {
      templateId: "tmpl_xyz789",
      templateVariables: {
        "1": "John",
      },
    },
  }, {
    headers: {
      "Zavu-Sender": invitation.senderId,
    },
  });
}

Full Example

import Zavudev from "@zavudev/sdk";

const zavu = new Zavudev({
  apiKey: process.env["ZAVUDEV_API_KEY"],
});

async function onboardClient(clientName: string, clientEmail: string) {
  // Create invitation
  const invitation = await zavu.invitations.create({
    clientName,
    clientEmail,
    expiresInDays: 7,
  });

  console.log(`Send this link to ${clientName}: ${invitation.url}`);

  return invitation;
}

async function checkInvitationStatus(invitationId: string) {
  const { invitation } = await zavu.invitations.get({ invitationId });

  switch (invitation.status) {
    case "pending":
      console.log("Waiting for client to start signup");
      break;
    case "in_progress":
      console.log("Client is completing the signup flow");
      break;
    case "completed":
      console.log(`Success! Sender ID: ${invitation.senderId}`);
      break;
    case "expired":
      console.log("Invitation expired, create a new one");
      break;
    case "cancelled":
      console.log("Invitation was cancelled");
      break;
  }

  return invitation;
}

// Usage
const invitation = await onboardClient("Acme Corp", "contact@acme.com");
// Later...
await checkInvitationStatus(invitation.id);
