Inviting player to party PlayFabParty/SharedGroups - 2021

Hi, I've looked trough multiple discussions regarding this. A lot of discussions are from 2016-2017 before the implementation of PlayFabParty.

The solution was to check every ~15 seconds in SharedGroup to see if the player had received an invitation.

Is there a better solution now that PlayFab Party is implemented to send information to another player before being in a SharedGroup or the same Network ? (I've scrolled through the documentation - Party - Chat - Shared Group - Entities - etc.).

Thank you

Currently the SharedGroup is still a workaround for inviting friends into a Party. We have the lobby feature on deck. This feature allows for temporary grouping of players for the purpose of orchestrating multiplayer experiences, including searching for available lobbies to join. It includes member properties, as well as lobby and search properties to use for gameplay coordination. We don’t have ETA on when this feature will be released. Please regularly check our blog post for news of the latest released feature and stay on tune.
