Invite a contact
Invite a freelancer to your directory.
This endpoint allows clients to add freelancers to their directory. If the email is new to the platform, a new freelancer profile will be created in an invited state and an invitation email will be sent. If the email already exists, the existing freelancer will be added to the client's directory.
**Hirer Attribution (Optional):**
You can optionally provide a `hirer` field with either the hirer's id or email address to specify which user within your organization is adding this contact. If not provided, the system will automatically use the oldest active hirer from your organization.
**Custom Invitation Message (Optional):**
You can optionally provide an `invite_message` field to include a custom message in the invitation email. This is only applicable for new freelancers and will be ignored if the freelancer already exists on the platform.
The freelancer will remain non-bookable until they complete the onboarding process.
