Description πŸ”—

The invite-notify client capability allows a client to specify that it would like to be notified when users are invited to channels.

This client capability MUST be named invite-notify.

This capability is designed to replace the traditional β€œX has invited Y to #chan” server notices, and to provide a standard way that allows clients to learn when another client does an /INVITE.

Format πŸ”—

The format of the INVITE message is as follows:

:<inviter> INVITE <target> <channel>

The message source, inviter is the user doing the INVITE, target is the user being invited, channel is the channel where target is being invited.

Example πŸ”—

:ChanServ!ChanServ@example.com INVITE Attila #channel

This message translates to ChanServ has invited Attila to #channel.

Notes πŸ”—

The server is not required to send the INVITE message described in this document to all clients supporting this capability on a channel. For example, a server may choose to only send the message to clients having channel op, or only to clients that have the privilege to do an /INVITE on the channel themselves.
