Hook to accept User's invite to Account?

[steph.hope]

Is there a way to have the invites to connect a User to an Account automatically approved? Via a hook or anything?

We're needing to import a number of clients from an old system who will have two Users, and don't want to have to explain to the end clients why they have to accept an invitation due to our internal change in process.

Haven't yet done the upgrade to v8 so I haven't been able to poke around myself to find a way, trying to understand the situation before doing the upgrade.

technically, I think you could bypass the invite system with a combination of API and database updating, e.g create the user(s) using the AddUser API and then assign those user(s) to the relevant client(s) by creating a record in the tblusers_clients database table...

fundamentally, I think that's all the invite system does, e.g when an invite is created, a record is added to the tbluser_invites table; if invite accepted, it creates the record in the tblusers_clients table and possibly removes the record from tbluser_invites.

tblusers_clients looks like this...

• auth_user_id -> id value in tblusers
• client_id -> id value in tblclients

i'd certainly recommend playing with v8+ in a dev thoroughly before updating a production server to it. ⚠️

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with updating them in the database. It just feels so dodgy, but our existing system has some peculiarities that make it unavoidable.

If only there was a way to directly associate a user other than the owner with a  client via the API. I can only see the CreateClientInvite API, but if I do it through the UI there's an option to associate an existing User without using an invite, which is what I need.

almost certainly I would imagine that WHMCS is just using it's own SQL update query to do that.
