THE BASICS | JOINING GROUPS
To join a group, you must be invited by a group administrator. Group are private, invitation only spaces and we do not provide a public sign up page for any group.
Receiving a group invitation
Group administrators invite members to join their group by entering their email addresses. When an invite is sent, everyone on the invite list will receive an email that has been customized the sender containing a link to their group invitation page.
Invitees will receive an email containing a link to an invitation. Once they click the link, they will be asked to complete a 2 step process.
STEP 1: Create an account
First, the new user will be asked to create their User Name and Password. This will allow them to log into Convos and the group's web application at any time.
It's completely free for members to setup an account and use the interface.
STEP 2: Complete a Member Profile
Next, the new user will be asked to fill out their member profile. A member profile is a collection of information that a group administrator has requested from all group members.
When the user has finished entering their member profile, they will click "Submit". The group's custom login page will appear and the member can now log into the group's web application.
Invitees with an existing account
If a group leader invites someone to join their group at an email address that is already in our system, the user will receive the same invitation email. When they click the link in the email, they will automatically be taken to Step 2 to complete their member profile.
The invitee can then complete their member profile for this group and log into this group's web application using their existing User Name and Password.
