+```python
+async def user_may_send_3pid_invite(

+Called when processing an invitation using a third-party identifier (also called a 3PID,
+e.g. an email address or a phone number). The module must return a `bool` indicating
+whether the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room.
+
+The inviter is represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`), and the
+invitee is represented by its medium (e.g. "email") and its address
+(e.g. `alice@example.com`). See [the Matrix specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types)
+for more information regarding third-party identifiers.
+
+For example, a call to this callback to send an invitation to the email address
+`alice@example.com` would look like this:
+
+```python
+await user_may_send_3pid_invite(
+    "@bob:example.com",  # The inviter's user ID
+    "email",  # The medium of the 3PID to invite
+    "alice@example.com",  # The address of the 3PID to invite
+    "!some_room:example.com",  # The ID of the room to send the invite into
+)
+```
+
+**Note**: If the third-party identifier is already associated with a matrix user ID,
+[`user_may_invite`](#user_may_invite) will be used instead.
