How can i add guest user to Hipchat Guest Room by Fullname

Parth Kundariya September 6, 2017

I have created custom web app as per my requirement.

 

I wanted to add guest user using Full Name to Hipchat Guest Room.

 

When i am trying to add user i am getting response as below:

 

[error] => stdClass Object
(
     [code] => 400
     [message] => Unable to create user. You must purchase more licenses in order to      add additional users
     [type] => Bad Request
)

Here is my code:

 

public static function invite_user_to_group($email, $name){
     global $token;

     // Invite User Star
     $data = array(
          "email" => $email,
          "name" => $name
     );
     $url_send = HOMEURL."/v2/invite/user?auth_token=".TOKEN;
     $str_data = json_encode($data);
     $res = Livechat::sendPostData($url_send, $str_data);

     if($res != '')
          return $res;
     else
          return false;

}

 

Please help me how can i do that. Thank in advanced!!!

Hi Parth,

 

I'm quite confused here, are you trying to add a new user or a guest user? The reason is that the error and script you write indicates you are trying to add a new user into your HipChat group which then fail because you have exceeded your purchase license and not adding a guest user.

 

Also, may I know are you using HipChat server or HipChat cloud?

Thanks for your reply,

 

I wanted to added guest user to guest room via API.

 

I am using Hipchat Server.

Hi Parth, 

This is currently not possible via the API, here's an existing feature request about it:

HCPUB-3580 - Create API endpoint to invite guest user to room

Please watch and up-vote the feature above. In the meantime, here's a workaround: 

  1. Create room with guest access enabled or enable guest access for an existing room via Update room
  2. Get the room's guest URL via Get room
  3. Share the room's guest URL with the guest user via email or UI

I hope this helps.
