Overview
The "Send Invite Link" operation in the Group resource of this node allows users to send an invitation link to join a specific group via specified recipient phone numbers. This is useful for automating group invitations in messaging or collaboration platforms where groups are identified by unique IDs. For example, a user can automatically invite multiple contacts to a project discussion group by sending them a customized invite message with the group link.
