Group Invitations by Email
By default, group owners, leaders or managers can invite users to join groups by searching and selecting registered usernames. With this release, we've added the ability to invite users to groups using email addresses. The invitation modal has been extended to allow you to create or submit a list of emails you would like to target with a group invitations.
- Registered users will receive a notification letting them know they've been invited to the group, and will be linked to the group where they can accept or reject the invitation.
- Unregistered users will receive a notification letting them know they've been invited to the group, and will be linked to the registration page where they can create their accounts before accepting or rejecting the group invitation.
A new permission has been added to enable this capability by role. Users will need to be group owners, leaders or managers and have the Email Invitation.Add permission.
New Notifications for Group Management
We've added 3 new notification options pertaining to group membership:
