Action Performed:

1 . Create a workspace room
2. Invite a workspace member to the room
3. Invite a non-workspace member to the room
4. Check chat and LHN preview for the notifications

Expected Result:

The user should be able to see all notifications about members invited to the room
Expected to see 2 users in the LHN and 2 notifications in the chat

Actual Result:

Only Non-worksacpe members are counted in the LHN panel preview and are indicated in the chat notification after invitation.

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

@jasperhuangg Please check the InviteToRoom api. It is currently not returning anything when inviting user already in the workspace to a room.

[jasperhuangg]

@dukenv0307 yes, that is expected. We do nothing if you try to invite a user already in the room.

[dukenv0307]

@jasperhuangg I mean the user is already in the workspace and not yet in the room

[jasperhuangg]

@dukenv0307 Ah sorry for misunderstanding. This behavior is currently expected based on what we have in the back-end. When someone is in a workspace, they can join the workspace room of their own free will, so we don't notify when they are invited to the room.
