It can be read, shared and revoked, and revoking it invalidates every copy of the old link at once, everywhere it was pasted.","Invite links are how groups actually grow, because adding a stranger to a group directly is both rude and one of the fastest ways to get a number reported. The link is a capability: anyone who has it can join, so it should be treated like a password rather than like a URL. The two operations that matter for automation are reading the current code, so you can put it on a landing page or in a confirmation email, and revoking it, which generates a fresh code and kills every old link instantly. A sensible pattern is to rotate the code on a schedule and publish only the current one through a redirect you control, so a link that leaks into a public channel stops working within a day without anyone having to notice. You can also resolve a code you have been given into group metadata before joining, which lets a bot check the group's name and size and decide whether to accept.",{"example":7,"field":8},"{\"invite_code\": \"HxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\", \"link\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fchat.whatsapp.com\u002FHxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\"}","invite_code","Meta's Cloud API reference documents no group endpoints, so there is no official way to read or revoke a group invite link.","What is a WhatsApp invite code?",{"features":12,"hub":19,"operations":20,"terms":30},[13,16],{"title":14,"url":15},"Create Group","\u002Fwhatsapp-api\u002Fcreate-group\u002F",{"title":17,"url":18},"Group Invite Link","\u002Fwhatsapp-api\u002Fgroup-invite-link\u002F","\u002Fglossary\u002F",[21,24,27],{"title":22,"url":23},"GET \u002Fgroups\u002F{id}\u002Finvite","\u002Fdocs\u002Fapi\u002Fgroups\u002Fget-group-invite\u002F",{"title":25,"url":26},"POST \u002Fgroups\u002Finvite\u002Faccept","\u002Fdocs\u002Fapi\u002Fgroups\u002Faccept-group-invite\u002F",{"title":28,"url":29},"GET \u002Fgroups\u002Finvite\u002F{code}","\u002Fdocs\u002Fapi\u002Fgroups\u002Fget-group-invite-info\u002F",[31,34,37],{"title":32,"url":33},"Group admin","\u002Fglossary\u002Fgroup-admin\u002F",{"title":35,"url":36},"JID","\u002Fglossary\u002Fjid\u002F",{"title":38,"url":39},"Newsletter","\u002Fglossary\u002Fnewsletter\u002F",[41,49,55],{"availability":42,"ban_risk":43,"method":44,"operationId":45,"path":46,"summary":47,"tag":48,"url":23},"ga","low","GET","getGroupInvite","\u002Fgroups\u002F{id}\u002Finvite","Get the group invite link","groups",{"availability":42,"ban_risk":50,"method":51,"operationId":52,"path":53,"summary":54,"tag":48,"url":26},"medium","POST","acceptGroupInvite","\u002Fgroups\u002Finvite\u002Faccept","Join a group by invite link",{"availability":42,"ban_risk":43,"method":44,"operationId":56,"path":57,"summary":58,"tag":48,"url":29},"getGroupInviteInfo","\u002Fgroups\u002Finvite\u002F{code}","Preview a group behind an invite code",{"breadcrumb":60,"canonical":69,"description":70,"h1":10,"lastmod":71,"title":72},[61,64,66],{"name":62,"url":63},"Home","\u002F",{"name":65,"url":19},"Glossary",{"name":67,"url":68},"Invite code","\u002Fglossary\u002Finvite-code\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fwapito.com\u002Fglossary\u002Finvite-code\u002F","An invite code is the short string at the end of a chat.whatsapp.com link that lets anyone holding it join a group without being added by an admin.","2026-09-15","What is a WhatsApp invite code? | Wapito Glossary","invite-code","t9",[76],{"label":77,"id":78,"lang":78,"code":79,"html":80},"JSON","json","{\n  \"invite_code\": \"HxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\",\n  \"link\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fchat.whatsapp.com\u002FHxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\"\n}","\u003Cpre class=\"shiki shiki-themes github-light-default github-dark-default\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;--shiki-dark-bg:#0d1117;color:#1f2328;--shiki-dark:#e6edf3\" tabindex=\"0\">\u003Ccode>\u003Cspan class=\"line\">\u003Cspan style=\"color:#1F2328;--shiki-dark:#E6EDF3\">{\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\n\u003Cspan class=\"line\">\u003Cspan style=\"color:#116329;--shiki-dark:#7EE787\">  \"invite_code\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan style=\"color:#1F2328;--shiki-dark:#E6EDF3\">: \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan style=\"color:#0A3069;--shiki-dark:#A5D6FF\">\"HxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan style=\"color:#1F2328;--shiki-dark:#E6EDF3\">,\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\n\u003Cspan class=\"line\">\u003Cspan style=\"color:#116329;--shiki-dark:#7EE787\">  \"link\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan style=\"color:#1F2328;--shiki-dark:#E6EDF3\">: \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan style=\"color:#0A3069;--shiki-dark:#A5D6FF\">\"https:\u002F\u002Fchat.whatsapp.com\u002FHxYz1AbCdEf2GhI\"\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\n\u003Cspan class=\"line\">\u003Cspan style=\"color:#1F2328;--shiki-dark:#E6EDF3\">}\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fcode>\u003C\u002Fpre>",1790464916561]
