I have an app where the admin invites new users with devise_invitable. This works fine, but I want to split things up. First I want to create the user and then later on I want to be able to invite them. How can I split up these actions?
You can use the skip_invitation option when using invite! to skip sending the actual invitation.
User.invite!(:email => "[email protected]", :name => "John Doe", :skip_invitation => true)
# the record will be created, but the invitation email will not be sent
You can then send the invitation by:
user = User.find(42)
user.deliver_invitation
