Hi @bigwalnut and welcome to the Mattermost forums!
Can you confirm that you have set the SiteUrl in your application settings and that the flag “System console” → “Authentication” → “Signup” → “Enable Email Invitations” is turned on?
Do you have any other suggestions?
Hi again,
I could reproduce the problem only when I access the Mattermost server using its IP address and it seems that it does not matter what the SiteURL is set to. Please set up a hostname for your Mattermost server, put it into SiteURL and also access it using the hostname then (and not the IP address), this should copy a valid invite link to your clipboard then when clicking on the button again.
Are you also running a reverse proxy or some SSL offloading in front of your Mattermost installation? If so, whatever the clients use to connect to your server should go into the SiteURL then.
We have the issue that a channel doesnt show us the option to copy an invite link. We dont have the enterprise version.
When we use the “Copy link” button in the dropdown it gives us the channel link, but people who are not a Team-Admin can’t use it - it returns a 404 for them.
What can be the reason for that?
