- [interface/uri-schemes.md at main · deltachat/interface · GitHub](https://github.com/deltachat/interface/blob/main/uri-schemes.md#user-content-invite-links-httpsideltachat-)

- right after the hashmark: hexadecimal public key fingerprint of user who invited you, same as used in `openpgp4fpr:` URI

- `n`: name of user who invited you

- `i`, `j`: invitenumber

- `s`: authcode

- `x`: group ID and broadcast channel ID

- `g`: type is group, its name

- `b`: type is broadcast channel, its name

- `z`: type is [ArcaneChat](https://github.com/ArcaneChat/core/pull/438) moderated [group](https://github.com/ArcaneChat/core/blob/main/src/qr.rs#L516), its name

- its type is a direct chat invite if `x`, `g`, `b` and `z` are missing

When you reset an invite link, it invalidates the previous value and creates a new pair of `i` and `s`.
