Feature Request: REST API endpoint for sending/generating Copilot Enterprise invites

Summary
We are requesting an API endpoint to streamline the user invitation process for GitHub Copilot Enterprise.

Problem Statement
In our current enterprise setup, we automate user provisioning and onboarding. However, there is no direct endpoint to automatically send an email invitation or retrieve an invite link for a specific user to join the Copilot Enterprise seat/organization.

Proposed Functionality

Option A: An endpoint (e.g., POST /enterprises/{enterprise}/copilot/billing/selected_teams or a dedicated invite endpoint) that triggers an automated invite email to the user.

Option B: An endpoint that returns a unique invitation URL/token so our internal provisioning script can send a customized email to the invited user.

Business Impact
This feature will reduce administrative overhead, minimize manual steps during developer onboarding, and ensure team members receive immediate and clear instructions to accept their Copilot Enterprise access.

Hi JP‑magalu,

That’s an excellent feature request — automating Copilot Enterprise user invitations would definitely streamline onboarding.

Currently, GitHub’s REST API doesn’t expose a direct endpoint for sending Copilot Enterprise invites. The existing endpoints under /enterprises/{enterprise}/copilot handle seat management and billing, but not invitation delivery.

Your proposed options make sense:
• Option A: A POST endpoint that triggers an automated invite email.
• Option B: An endpoint returning a unique invitation URL/token for custom provisioning scripts.

Both would reduce manual admin work and fit naturally within enterprise automation workflows. I’d recommend submitting this idea through GitHub Feedback or Support so the product team can track it officially — they often review enterprise automation requests for roadmap inclusion.

In the meantime, some organizations handle this by combining the Copilot seat assignment API with internal email automation (e.g., sending invite links via their own system).

Great suggestion — this kind of automation would make enterprise onboarding far smoother.
