Build a custom flow for managing Organization membership requests

Warning

This guide is for users who want to build a . To use a prebuilt UI, use the Account Portal pages or prebuilt components.

This guide will demonstrate how to use the Clerk API to build a custom flow for managing Organization membership requests.

The following example:

  1. Uses the useOrganization() hook to get membershipRequests, which is a list of the membership requests.
    • membershipRequests is an object with data that contains an array of OrganizationMembershipRequest objects.
    • Each OrganizationMembershipRequest object has an accept() and reject() method to accept or reject the membership request, respectively.
  2. Maps over the data array to display the membership requests in a table, providing an "Accept" and "Reject" button for each request that calls the accept() and reject() methods, respectively.

This example is written for Next.js App Router but it can be adapted for any React-based framework, such as React Router or Tanstack React Start.

// List of organization membership requests.
export const MembershipRequests = () => {
  const { isLoaded, membershipRequests } = useOrganization(MembershipRequestsParams)

  if (!isLoaded) {
    return <>Loading</>
  }

The following example:

  1. Calls the getMembershipRequests() method to retrieve the list of membership requests for the . This method returns data, which is an array of OrganizationMembershipRequest objects.
  2. Maps over the data array to display the membership requests in a table.
  3. Provides an "Accept" and "Reject" button for each request that calls the accept() and reject() methods, respectively.
