Accepting Invitations
When a user receives an invitation email, they can click the secure link to accept. The flow depends on whether the user already has an 8bit-ai account.
Existing Users
If the user already has an 8bit-ai account with the invited email, clicking the invitation link will immediately add the organization to their account. They can switch between organizations from the account menu.
New Users
If the user does not have an account, they will be prompted to create one using the invited email address. After account creation, the organization will be automatically added to their account.
Automatic Redemption
Invitation Expiration
Invitations expire after 7 days by default. Expired invitations can be resent to generate a new link with a fresh expiration period.
Expiration Configuration
| Setting | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| expires_in_days | 7 | 1 to 30 days |
When an invitation expires, the status changes to expiredin the dashboard. The pending invitation count is immediately decreased, freeing up capacity for new invitations.
Managing Invitations
View, resend, and revoke pending invitations from the dashboard or API.
