Invitations
Invitations let you bring people into your organization by email. Recipients click a one-time link in the email, register (or sign in), and are automatically attached to your org with the right access level.
How to Invite Someone
- Go to Users → Users and click Invite user, or Users → Invitations and click Invite user
- Enter their email address
- Choose Invite User As:
- Staff — full access to the app and managing work
- Client — limited access via the Client Portal only
- (On paid plans) Review the per-seat charge notice — adding a user adjusts your Stripe subscription quantity by one seat
- Click Send invitation
The recipient gets an email with a one-time link valid for 7 days.
What the Recipient Sees
- If they have no HollowPurple account yet, the link takes them to a registration form pre-filled with their email. After registering, they're automatically attached to your org and their email is treated as verified (the invite link itself is the proof).
- If they already have an account, they're prompted to sign in and accept the invitation.
Pending Invitations
The Users → Invitations page lists every invitation sent for your organization, with:
- Staff? — whether they were invited as staff or client
- Expires at — invites expire after 7 days
- Accepted — shows when (or if) the invite has been accepted
Resending an Invitation
If someone's link expires, or they never received the email:
- Find the invitation in the list (only non-accepted invites can be resent)
- Click Resend
- Optionally update the email address or staff/client choice
- Click Resend in the modal
A fresh token is generated, the expiry resets to 7 days from now, and a new invitation email is queued.
Cancelling an Invitation
Use the row's delete action to revoke a pending invite. The link in their email will stop working immediately.
Plan Limits
- Free plan — capped at 3 total users. Once you've hit the cap, the Invite user button warns you and the send is blocked even if the UI is bypassed.
- Paid plans — unlimited users; each new user is one billable seat.
See Plans & Billing for details on per-seat charges.
Tips
- Invitations are per organization. Inviting the same person to two orgs sends two separate invitations.
- If a user is already a member of the org, the invite is rejected with a friendly notice.
- Sending a new invite for an email that already has a pending invite replaces the old one.
