Invite your team

In this article

Merchaint is shared. Approvals need somebody to approve, and a comment needs somebody to read it.

02 · Why

Why do we have this?

Merchaint is shared. Approvals need somebody to approve, and a comment needs somebody to read it.

03 · How

Send an invitation

  1. Go to Settings → Members, or press Invite team in the sidebar.
  2. Press Invite member.
  3. Enter their email address.
  4. Choose a Role — Member, Admin or Viewer. Member is the default and suits most people.
  5. Optionally choose a Department and a Functional Role. Both are labels; neither changes what they can do.
  6. Press Send invite.

04 · Expected result

They get an email inviting them to join your organization. Until they accept, they appear on the Members list as pending — the count above the table shows how many are active and how many are still pending.

Once they accept, they can sign in and see the workspaces they have been given.

05 · Troubleshooting

Send invite is greyed out

Enter an email address first — nothing else is required.

They never got the email

Check the spelling, then ask them to look in their spam folder. Invitations come from Merchaint, not from you.

They signed up instead of accepting

They will have created their own separate organization by accident, and will not be in yours. Ask them to use the invitation link, and remove the extra account they made.

I cannot see the Invite member button

You need to be an Admin or the Owner. There is also an organization-wide setting, Allow Member Invitations, which decides whether ordinary Members can invite anybody — see Organization details.

06 · Notes

You are inviting them to the organization, not to a workspace

Giving them something to look at is a second step — see Who can see which workspace.

You cannot invite somebody as Owner

Only Member, Admin and Viewer can be sent.

07 · FAQ

Common questions

Can I change their role later?

Yes, from the Members list — see Roles and permissions.

How many people can I invite?

There is no limit on the page.

Can I invite someone who already uses Merchaint?

Yes. They accept from the same email and then choose between organizations when they sign in.

Can I cancel an invitation?

Yes, from the Members list while it is still pending.
