# Unable to tell who invited ?
You have setup invite tracking logs and sometimes, or even on each joins the bot send this horrible message: *''I am unable to tell you who invited `memberName`. Maybe a temporary invite."*
This message can have a multitude of reasons, we'll try to list most common ones here.
### Configurations problems
* Make sure the InviteLogger role has manage server permission in your server (this permission is needed for the bot to access to the invite list)
* Make sure the bot can manage every channels (otherwise the bot won't get the invite create event and miss some invites)
### Invalid invites
* The bot is unable to track members which are joining using an *'about to be deleted'* invite. *(i.e a single use invite will be deleted after being used, or an invite with 6/7 uses too)*
* The bot is unable to track "fast invites" *(i.e invites directly sent in dm through the invite create menu)* 
* The bot is unable to track oauth2 related joins
### Problems on bot side
* The bot has just started, so its invite cache is empty, it should be filled after another join, or by using the `/purgeCache` command
* Bot is ratelimited on this endpoint, should be resolved after a few minutes
* Bot is experiencing lag which delays and fails invite tracking, should be resolved after a few minutes too
