feat(backend): add deleteInvitation to the Invitations API by dominic-clerk · Pull Request #10034 · clerk/javascript

dominic-clerk · 2026-10-02T12:08:18Z

Description

Revoking an instance invitation keeps the row and its email address, so an erasure request from someone who was invited but never signed up could not be honored through the SDK. The Backend API now exposes DELETE /v1/invitations/{invitation_id} (clerk/clerk_go#22547), which hard-deletes the invitation and the stored copies of its invitation email.

This adds clerkClient.invitations.deleteInvitation(invitationId) to @clerk/backend. It returns the standard DeletedObject. Unlike revokeInvitation, it works on invitations of any status and removes the record itself. Other records that contain the same email address, such as users or organization invitations, are not affected.

Expose DELETE /v1/invitations/{invitation_id} as clerkClient.invitations.deleteInvitation(invitationId). Unlike revoking, deleting removes the invitation record and the stored invitation emails, which is needed to honor erasure requests from invitees who never signed up.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds InvitationAPI.deleteInvitation(invitationId). The method validates the ID, sends a DELETE request, and returns a DeletedObject. Tests cover the returned invitation object and rejection of an empty ID. A changeset describes permanent deletion of the invitation and stored invitation-email copies, in contrast to revocation.

🤖 AI review (confirmed) (72%): The options, variables, and captcha fields of the return type now reference types from @clerk/ui/internal, whose referenceResolutions verdict is unknown (package not found, not deterministically verified as an exported entry point). Per rule 12, non-resolvable specifiers degrade the type to any or cause a compile error, making this a breaking change for consumers who rely on those typed fields.

Migration: Check whether @clerk/ui/internal is a publicly exported entry point; if not, update imports to use the public @clerk/ui entry point for Options, Variables, and CaptchaAppearanceOptions.
