revokeInvitation()

Revokes an Invitation.

Revoking an invitation makes the invitation email link unusable. However, it doesn't prevent the user from signing up if they follow the sign up flow.

Only active (i.e. non-revoked) invitations can be revoked.

function revokeInvitation(invitationId: string): Promise<Invitation>

Parameters

  • Name
    invitationId
    Type
    string
    Description

    The ID of the invitation to revoke.

Usage

Note

Using clerkClient varies based on your framework. Refer to the JS Backend SDK overview for usage details, including guidance on how to access the userId and other properties.

const invitationId = 'inv_123'

const response = await clerkClient.invitations.revokeInvitation(invitationId)

Example

app/api/example/route.ts
import { clerkClient } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function GET() {
  try {
    const client = await clerkClient()
    const invitation = await client.invitations.revokeInvitation({
      invitationId: 'invitation_123',
    })
    return NextResponse.json({ message: 'Invitation revoked' })
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error)
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Error revoking invitation' })
  }
}
src/api/example.ts
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro'
import { clerkClient } from '@clerk/astro/server'

export const GET: APIRoute = async (context) => {
  await clerkClient(context).invitations.revokeInvitation({
    invitationId: 'invitation_123',
  })

  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ success: true }), { status: 200 })
}
public.ts
import { getAuth, clerkClient } from '@clerk/express'

app.post('/revokeInvitation', async (req, res) => {
  await clerkClient.invitations.revokeInvitation({
    invitationId: 'invitation_123',
  })

  res.status(200).json({ success: true })
})

  await clerkClient.invitations.revokeInvitation({
    invitationId: 'invitation_123',

app/routes/api/example.tsx

      GET: async () => {
        await clerkClient().invitations.revokeInvitation({
          invitationId: 'invitation_123',
        })

        return json({ success: true })

Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint POST/invitations/{invitation_id}/revoke. See the BAPI reference for more information.

Here's an example of making a request directly to the endpoint using cURL.

terminal
curl https://api.clerk.com/v1/invitations/<invitation_id>/revoke -X POST -H "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY" -H 'Content-Type:application/json'
