💡 FAQ


How do I enable the 'Open' invitation type?

Open invitation is a free Showell Add-on that is OFF by default. Contact Support to enable this feature. Be cautious when using an open invitation, as anyone with the link can join the Showell account. We recommend to only use this within internal communication channels of your company.

Can I delete an invite?

Yes, Select the invitation by checking the checkbox on the left side of the invite, and click Delete on the taskbar that will pop-up at the bottom of the page. Once a user invitation is deleted, the link becomes invalid. If the recipients still open the link, they will receive a message asking to contact the sender.

Can a user, who already has a Showell Account, be invited?

Yes, these users will receive the same email invitation and will be able to sign on with their own, already existing, user credentials from the Showell signup page.

Can I add/create a user, without inviting them?

Yes, you are able to create users and their credentials yourself. Learn more on how to create users.

🔔 Troubleshooting

 

Why is an invited user not able to join?

Every user takes up a license, check if you have enough licenses available on your account.

Why can't I see the toggle for 'Custom Terms of Service'?

This option will be available if you've added a 'Terms of Service'-URL for this within your Account Settings.
