Overview
The "Send Invite Link" operation in the Group resource allows sending an invitation link to one or more recipients for joining a specific group. This node is useful when you want to programmatically share group invite links with multiple users, accompanied by a custom message. Typical use cases include automating group invitations for community management, event coordination, or customer engagement via messaging platforms.
For example, you can send a personalized invite message along with the group link to a list of phone numbers, enabling quick and easy onboarding into a group chat or discussion forum.

| Instance Name | The name of the instance that will send the invite. This identifies the sender environment. |
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the group to which the invite link will be sent. |
| Invite Message | A custom message to accompany the invite link when sent to recipients. |
| Recipients | Comma-separated list of recipient phone numbers (e.g., 5511999999999,5511888888888) to receive the invite. |

The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the invite link sending operation. Each item in the output corresponds to the response from sending the invite to the specified recipients. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information about the invite delivery.

Troubleshooting
