How to Send an Invite Link via Email to Invite Someone to a Specific Community Group.

  2. Click on Communities at the top.
  3. Click on the Login button for the community group you want to invite them to.

  6. Enter the name and email address of the person you want to invite.
  7. Toggle on administrative privileges if needed for team members or service providers on your FG Funnels account.
  8. Click on Send Invite.
  9. The email invite will be sent to the recipient.
  10. The recipient can click on the accept invite button in the email to accept the invite.
  11. The recipient will set up a password, add a bio, and an image. Once completed, they can access the community area to post, comment, and like.

Invitation Flow

Once the invitation is sent, the recipient will receive an email, and will experience one of the scenarios below:


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

  • If the recipient has never signed up for your client portal before, they will see an "Accept Invite" button in the email.
  • Clicking this button will redirect them to a "Set Password" page, where they can create their new password, and automatically be logged in to the community group.

Scenario B: User Is Already a Member with Login Credentials

  • If the recipient is already a member with login credentials, clicking the "Accept Invite" button will instantly redirect them to the community group using a magic link, to automatically log them in.

Important Note: The invitation link included in the email will expire after 30 days for security reasons. Ensure that the recipient accepts the invitation within this timeframe.
