Inviting members to your association

There are three ways: invite by email so the person fills in their own details, add the member yourself, or import a whole member list from a file. All three are under the plus button in Members.

Choose "Add manually" under the plus button. The email address is required, because every member has an account of their own. With "Send welcome email" switched on (or "Send welcome message", if the association has written its own), the member gets an email with a sign-in link; switch it off and nothing is sent, and you can invite the person later. A membership type without app access never receives an email.

If the person already has a Membly account they have signed in to, it becomes an invitation instead: they appear under "Invited · awaiting response" and become a member when they accept. Until then the association sees no contact details. The email follows the same switch as the welcome email, and you set permissions and guardians afterwards.

There is no separate invitation link. To reach many people at once, switch on the association's public page under Settings → Public page and share its address — new members can apply there, and you approve the applications under Members. The page is visible only while it is switched on.

It resolves automatically. If the person already has a Membly account — even with a different address linked — the invitation finds the right account, and the association appears next to their other memberships once they accept. The same applies when you add or import someone who already has an account: they get an invitation to accept instead of being added straight away, so nobody ends up in an association without having said yes. You never need to ask which address someone "has in Membly".

Check that the address is correct under Members, and ask the person to check their spam folder. A member who has not signed in yet is marked Not joined yet, and under "Show more" on their row you can tap "Send invitation" — or "Send welcome email" from the member's profile. If you added or imported many at once: go to the Not joined tab, select everyone ("Select all shown" → "Select all N matching") and tap "Send welcome email" — anyone who already joined is skipped, nothing is sent twice, and at most 250 emails go out per click (click again for larger lists).
