I’m trying to see if there is a way to add or invite someone to the community beyond a CSV upload. If there are one or two people creating a CSV every time seems inconvenient.
Is there a way to add an external user that’s not a team member in a singular fashion?
Thank you!
This could essentially be a form that would technically be usable by admins too to add a single user at a time without a CSV import!
Hope it helps!
Thank you for providing this, but this does not so much answer the question. Appreciate this info. however.
Hi,
I think I have a partial answer to your question. It’s a bit of a hack but it might work. The closest I can think of would be to have a Group for which you can get an invite link, then send that out to potential users via your preferred method. This would technically “invite” a new user in, but also means you have a random group with no other purpose.
Your other option might be to use external tools to identify potential users and invite them in by recommending they join the community.
Otherwise, there’s not really anything else I can think of right now. If it’s just one or two users every so often and they don’t need Control access, it’s probably easier for them to self-register than it is for you to use a CSV upload.
Having said that perhaps if you do not use groups for anything else and hide the group interface in the front end then you could actually repurpose the Group Invite email for only this purpose! That would make for a pretty solid UX. (I’m quite sure I’ve done more ugly hacks myself...)
Still feel like there could be room for an existing user based invite / referral form like I suggested, since that could be used by community moderators too!
It would be nice! Personally, it’d definitely be a lot more elegant than my ugly hack, but at least it’s a stopgap for now… Sort of...
We have a Typeform in our community that does that. It enables folks to refer someone to the community and the output is an email sent to the person referred (we also award a badge to the referrer when the person joins). It’s a simple yet effective workaround you could try.
@Scott Baldwin thats what I need! Cherry on the cale with the badge, love it!
@Scott Baldwin how are you tracking who sent the original referral, just trying to connect the dots.
