How it works
- Only the Owner of the organization sends and revokes invitations.
- Each invitation is for one email address and one role: Administrator or Member.
- The invitation link works only for that email address and expires after 7 days.
- There is no limit on the number of members.
- When the invited person accepts, the Owner is notified, according to the Team & Organization preference in Settings > Notifications.
Steps
1
Open Members
Go to Settings > Members and choose Invite.
2
Enter the email and the role
Type the Email address, choose the Role (Administrator or Member) and choose Send invite. The email goes out in the language of your account.
3
Wait for the acceptance
The invitation appears under Pending Invites with its expiry date until it is accepted. To cancel it, choose Revoke. The link stops working at once.
What the invited person does
- Opens the link in the email. The page shows the organization, who invited them and the role.
- Signs in, or creates an account with the same email address the invitation was sent to.
- Chooses Accept invitation.
An invitation sent to one address cannot be accepted from another. If the person uses a different email, revoke the invitation and send a new one to the right address.
What you see
Settings > Members has two lists:- Members: everyone in the organization, with their role. Only the Owner can remove a member.
- Pending Invites: invitations not yet accepted and still valid, with the expiry date.
