Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/smugmug/invite_gallery_viewers

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Switch a gallery to People I Choose and email invitations to the addresses you give.

SmugMug API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/smugmug.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/smugmug/galleries/{gallery_id}/viewers/invite`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Sends SmugMug invitation emails and returns the addresses invited and the total now invited to the gallery. Each guest accepts by email and signs up for a guest account if needed. One gallery, folder or page takes up to 200 invitations. Private sharing needs the Power plan or higher. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `gallery_id` | string | yes | Gallery ID from list_galleries. |
| `emails` | array | yes | Email addresses to invite. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
