Invite someone again
When a person disconnected your application from their Layout account, there was no way back: provisioning the same number failed and resending the link did too. Now provisioning that number again, or pressing Resend link, starts a fresh invite on the same application. Someone with their own Layout account still has to approve you again before you can build for them.
The right link to the right person
- Provisioning and resending from the console texts the approval link to a number that already has Layout, and the sign-up link to a new number. Before, both got the sign-up link, which signed the person in without connecting them to you.
- Sandbox never texts an approval link. Where the API would have texted an approval link in production, a sandbox call answers
next: "connect"with the link for you to open yourself.
Guides corrected
- Ordering over MCP describes connecting with a build grant token and the three tools that session can call.
- Provisioning users shows that Layout texts the approval link by default, with
next: "awaiting_user_approval". - Event types marks
order.needs_approvalandorder.challengeas reserved and not sent today. - Rate limits and idempotency lists the daily build ceilings the API actually enforces.
Breaking changes
None. If you built a handler that waits on order.needs_approval or order.challenge, it will not fire yet.
