If you have sent many invitations, they will be displayed across multiple pages:

Resending Invitations
If an invitation is about to expire or if the recipient didn't receive it:

- This will create a new invitation with a fresh expiration date
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues when inviting team members:
-
Error Messages
- Pay attention to any error messages displayed after clicking "Send Invites"
- Common errors include invalid email formats or network issues
-
Invitation Not Received
- Ask the recipient to check their spam/junk folder
- Verify that you entered the correct email address
- Send a new invitation if necessary
-
Invitation Expired
- Send a new invitation to the same email address
- The new invitation will have a fresh expiration date
Best Practices
For effective team invitation management:
- Include clear information in your invitation message about why you're inviting the person
- Send invitations in batches rather than one at a time for efficiency
- Follow up personally with invited users to ensure they received the invitation
- Regularly check the status of pending invitations
- Resend invitations before they expire if they haven't been accepted
Next Steps
After inviting team members, you should:
- View your organization members to see who has joined
- Manage user roles to assign appropriate permissions to new members
