Inviting teammates

How to invite a colleague into your workspace, what the invitation link does, and what the invitee sees on first login.


New members join a workspace by invitation only. Inviting requires the team-invite permission — by default that means the Owner and Admin roles.

The team page

Sending an invite

  1. Open the Team page and click Invite member.
  2. Fill in the dialog: Work email, optional Name, and the Role the person will get. Any workspace role except Owner can be assigned — built-in and custom alike; you can change it later at any time.
  3. Click Generate invite link.

Ikigai creates a one-time invitation link and shows it in the Invitation link ready dialog. Copy it and deliver it over any channel you trust — Slack, email, a messenger. Ikigai also tries to send an invitation email with the same link, but delivery is best-effort: the link you copy and pass on yourself is the reliable path. Key properties of the link:

  • it expires in 7 days;
  • it can be used once;
  • it works only on your workspace's own subdomain.

The person immediately appears in the team list with the Invited status.

Pending invitations

Until the invite is accepted, it sits in the Pending invitations block on the Team page, showing who invited whom and when the link expires. From there you can:

  • Resend — mints a brand-new link (the old one stops working) and shows it for copying;
  • Revoke — cancels the invitation entirely.

For security Ikigai stores only a hash of the link, so a previously issued link cannot be shown again later. The Copy button is available only right after generating or resending, while the dialog with the fresh link is open — if the link is lost, use Resend.

What the invitee sees

Opening the link lands on the Join your-workspace page. The email is pre-filled and locked, the assigned role is displayed, and the invitee fills in:

  • Your name;
  • Password and Confirm password — minimum 12 characters.

Clicking Activate account finishes the signup; from then on the person signs in at the workspace address with their email and password, and their status flips to Active.

After the person joins, review what they can see and do: Roles and permissions and Who sees which deals.
