Use an Invite Link to onboard your team members

S
Written by Sunil Sharma

An invite link lets people add themselves to your workspace, so you don't need to enter their details. It's useful for a cohort or event where you know who's coming but not every email address.

Before you start

  • You need Admin access, and your workspace must be launched.

  • If Invite via Link isn't in the Invite People menu, invite links aren't switched on for your workspace. Ask HowNow to turn them on.

Copy and share the link

  1. In the sidebar, select Manage › People.

  2. Select Invite People, then Invite via Link.

  3. In Share Invite Link, select the copy button next to the link.

  4. Share the link through a channel only the intended people can see, such as a private team chat.

People who open the link enter their name and email, then confirm their email address from the message they're sent. They join as Read Only and appear in Manage › People.

Note:

  • Anyone with the link can sign up with any email address, and every Admin in your workspace is emailed each time someone signs up and again when they finish registering.

  • The link works for 24 hours. After that, open Invite via Link again to get a new one. People with the old link see that it's invalid or has expired.

Good to know

  • Each Admin has their own link.

  • Sign-ups stop when your workspace runs out of seats.

  • To give someone more than Read Only access, change their access level after they join.
