Invitation Process

Once the invitation is sent, the recipient will receive an email with these scenarios:

Scenario A: User Has Never Signed Up or Is Not Part of the Client Portal

• If the person has never used the platform before or isn't part of the client portal, they will find an "Accept Invite" button in the email.
• Clicking this button will take them to a "Set Password" page where they can create their account.

Scenario B: User Is Already a Member with Login Credentials

• If the person is already a member with login credentials, clicking the "Accept Invite" button will instantly take them to the Group using a magic link.

Important Note

• The invitation link in the email will expire after 30 days for security reasons. So, make sure the recipient accepts the invitation within this time frame.
