Team invite via Jetstream 404's

[paulchrisluke]

Hello, I have added teams via https://jetstream.laravel.com/features/teams.html . Social stream and socialite are also working correctly via gmail on https://staging.blawby.com/ .

After logging in and attempting to add a member (settings > members > add), I am able to successfully invite a new user, and the email successfully sends.

However, in that default jetstream email a link to accept invitation is included which leads here: https://staging.blawby.com/team-invitations/1?signature=ad8181e6a6a40d5b115ad59862b1350495acf3c0a728487a78a00f0492eea792

that link 404's. If I attempt to register with the email that was invited to the team, a new laravel team is created instead of joining the team that invited that user email.

Perhaps I have missed something in this setup flow? Im expecting to be able to add new users to my team and let them interact with my team dashboard.

I asked a friend who gave this feedback as to how he fixed it in 2023:

Yeah but I had to finesse it I think to work I don’t rememeber. I modified the orginal teams function from Jetstream
But that shouldn’t be an issue. Can you register invite without socialstream. Just regular register?
Try inviting someone with an existing account

Hey @paulchrisluke I've not been able to replicate this with a fresh install locally. The 404 would indicate that the team invite doesn't exist for that user. Can you confirm that the team invite with ID 1 exists for the email you're inviting?

Hi @joelbutcher, we were looking for a flow where a team admin invites a team member and that email joins the team that invited them. I should have more specific in my question, and I apologize.

By default, it appears any new email creates a new personal team. It was a bit confusing and we took reference from this post around the expected user flow: https://mariogiancini.com/making-laravel-jetstream-team-invitations-better

In general, instead of every new email creating a new personal team, we wanted the invited email to join the inviting team.

As it relates to social stream, we had to make a few changes:

Check for Invitation in User Creation:

In Socialstream (specifically CreateUserFromProvider.php), modified the user creation flow to first check if an invitation exists for the user’s email:

$invitation = $this->getInvitation($user->email);
if ($invitation) {
    $this->handleInvitedUser($user, $invitation);
} else {
    $this->createTeam($user);
}

Handle Invited Users:

Added a method to attach the invited user to the correct team:

protected function handleInvitedUser(User $user, $invitation): void {
    $team = Team::find($invitation->team_id);
    $team->users()->attach($user, ['role' => $invitation->role]);
    $user->forceFill(['current_team_id' => $team->id])->save();
    DB::table('team_invitations')->where('email', $user->email)->delete();
}

This, in tandem with the mentioned post ui/ux changes allowed us to re-create a solution we were looking for.
