Question

How can I invite a user to a newly created private chat channel using the Twilio Python Client?

The python channel instance does not have an channel.invite() method like the JS SDK does.

I have looked through the source code as well but can't seem to find anything.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

The Programmable Chat REST API actually has an Invites resource that you can use to invite users to channels. You can use it like this:

channel.invites.create(user_identity)

Let me know if that helps at all.
