Getting Started
Joining a Group
Accept an invite or request to join
How you join a Group depends on how the Group is set up. There are three join settings: anyone can join, request to join (an admin approves), or invite only. The rest of this page covers how each one works.
Finding a Group
A Group's URL is how you reach it. You'll usually get a link from a member, receive an invitation, or be given the URL by your team. Open the link and you'll land on the Group's join page.
The three join settings
- Open.
Click Join and you're in.
- Request.
Submit a join request. An admin reviews it and approves or declines. You're added once approved.
- Invite only.
You need an invitation — usually a link, sometimes a code. There's no public Join button.
Joining with an invitation
Invitations can be single-use (one person), multi-use (a few teammates can share one link), and can expire after a set time. The person sending the invitation chooses the settings when they create it.
If you receive a code instead of a link, paste it into the Welcome page when you sign in — same effect.
After you join
You're added as a member with the default role for that Group. The Group's sections unlock — Decisions, Discussion, Members, and Treasury become visible based on your role. See Managing Members for what each role includes.
