Guest invite links

A guest invite link is a single, shareable URL that lets anyone who has it join your workspace as a guest — dropped straight into the channels you picked, and nothing else. It's the self-serve version of adding a guest: instead of typing one email at a time, you hand out one link to a whole client team, paste it behind a "Try it" button, or print it as a QR code at an event.

Like every guest, people who join through a link are free, are confined to only the channels on the link, and can't re-share or pull anyone else in.

Creating a link#

Go to Settings → Guest links and choose Create link. You'll set:

• Name — just for you, so you can tell your links apart later ("Acme client portal", "Conference lounge").
• Channels — the exact channels anyone using this link will join. Pick one or several. They'll see nothing else.
• Require admin approval (optional) — when on, people who use the link don't get in right away. Their request waits in a queue until you (or any admin) approve it.
• Bot challenge (optional) — adds a quick "are you human?" check on the join page to cut down on automated sign-ups.
• Max uses (optional) — cap how many people can join. Leave it blank for unlimited.
• Expires (optional) — set a date after which the link stops working.

When you create the link, we show you the URL once. Copy it right then — for security we don't store it, so it can't be shown again. If you lose it, just create a new link and revoke the old one.

What happens when someone uses your link#

The join page greets them with your workspace's logo and name, so it's clear who's inviting them before they enter anything.

• Someone new enters their email, gets a verification message, and becomes a guest in your link's channels once they confirm it.
• Someone who's already signed in to your workspace simply confirms, and the channels are added to what they already have — their role never changes.
• Someone whose email already belongs to an account here is asked to log in first, then confirm — we never create a duplicate account.
• If the link requires approval, the person enters their email and then waits — they get no access until an admin approves the request, at which point we email them a link to finish joining.

Approving requests#

If a link requires approval, requests show up under Pending requests on the same page, where any admin can Approve or Reject them. Approving admits the person as a guest in the link's channels; rejecting declines them. Admins get a notification when a new request comes in.

Managing your links#

The list shows each link's name, its channels, how many times it's been used (and the cap, if any), when it expires, and how many requests are waiting. To turn a link off, choose Revoke — that stops anyone new from joining. Revoking doesn't remove guests who already joined; to remove someone, take them out of the channel or the workspace as usual.

Cost#

People who join through a guest link are guests, so they're free — they never count toward your paid seats.
