Common Questions
Can I invite someone who previously left?
Yes. They'll receive a new invitation and join as a new member. Previous assignments are not restored.
Can invitees change their assigned role?
No. Only admins can change roles after they join.
What if I invited the wrong person?
Revoke the invitation immediately. If they already accepted, remove them from the organization.
Do invitations count toward member limits?
Usually no. Pending invitations don't count until accepted. Check your specific plan.
Can I customize the invitation email?
Not the email itself. Add a personal message in a separate email if needed.
How do I know if an invitation was accepted?
The status changes to "Accepted" and the user appears in the member list as "Active".
