Experience for Invited Members #
Recipients of the invitation link can expect the following:

Personalized Pop-up Modal: Upon clicking the link, a personalized pop-up window will appear, presenting the invitee with two options:
- Option 1 – Create a New Account: If the recipient is not yet a member, they can sign up by providing the necessary details.
- Option 2 – Log In with Existing Credentials: If the recipient is already registered, they can log in using their existing credentials.
For some private groups, there may be an approval process in place. This process allows administrators to review and approve membership requests, thereby ensuring that only authorized individuals gain access to the group, maintaining its security and integrity.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage the process of inviting new members to your group or community. The use of unique invitation links not only streamlines onboarding but also enhances security by ensuring that only selected individuals gain access.
