Add a member

Adds someone as an approved member (or approves them, if they had asked). With send_link, they're emailed a one-time sign-in link in the business's name.

POST/api/v1/sites/{site_id}/members

Authentication

An API key as Authorization: Bearer or x-api-key. It needs the members:write scope — approve, add and remove site members; mark pages members only (live at once).

Parameters

Named placeholders go in the path; the rest in a JSON body.

emailstringBody · required: At most 200 characters
send_linkbooleanBody · optional: Email them a sign-in link now.Default true

Response

201 with JSON on success (schema on the right). Errors use the standard envelope; a retry with the same Idempotency-Key gets the first answer back (how retries work).
