Invite external users to your Rocket.Chat server

Invite external users' syntax

Whenever you want to invite someone from an external server, use the following syntax to identify them when you click Add members:

@username:server.com

Which is represented by the following parts:

• @username: The username from the external server (red part).

• (:): A colon character separating the external username and the external server name.

• server.com: The external server name(blue part).

Once the Matrix Bridge is well configured and running, the external users' syntax is interpreted in any Add Members input in the workspace.After you invite an external user for the first time, a copy for that user will be created in your local Rocket.Chat instance.

Once the external user exists and the external server runs, the user will auto-join the room. However, they can choose to decline or accept the invite.
