Create Team Member
Adds a member to an account’s team with a system role. Identify them by exactly one of user_id or email. If the person has not yet accepted — or the email does not belong to a Whop account yet — an invitation is sent instead and the response is 202 with { "object": "team_member_invite", "invitation_sent": true }. If they already have a pending invite, the request fails with a 400. Custom roles cannot be granted via the API.
Authorizations
An Account API key, account-scoped JWT, App API key, or user OAuth token. Prepend the key or token with Bearer, for example Bearer ***************************.
Headers
