Invitation Flow
Once the invitation is dispatched, the recipient will receive an email with the following behavior:
Scenario A: User Has Never Signed Up or Is Not Part of the Client Portal
If the recipient has never signed up for the platform or is not part of the client portal, they will find an "Accept Invite" button in the email.
Clicking this button will redirect them to a "Set Password" modal where they can create their account.
Scenario B: User Is Already a Member with Login Credentials
If the recipient is already a member with login credentials, clicking the "Accept Invite" button will instantly redirect them to the Group using a magic link.
Important Note:
The invitation link included in the email will expire after 30 days for security reasons. Ensure that the recipient accepts the invitation within this timeframe.
