Can Member be Added Without Sending the Invitation? #addmembers

 

I have clients.? They've given verbal approval to participate in a group (it's better for them if they don't have to accept some sort of invitation; too inconvenient and sometimes it gets buried in their inbox).? Not a deal breaker for the client but they've already executed other formalities to become a client in the first place (would like to cut down on the administrative overload and skipping your invite would be one way to to this).
 

On a free group, it's either an invitation, by email to the group subscribe address, or they apply online.? If you upgrade to a Premium group, you can direct add them and they also won't need to complete the email confirmation step.

Hi

Have you looked at the three pricing options and the different features?

Steve, you can pay for your group to have the direct functionality. That would be skipping the whole invite process and the approval process.

I have the premium account (with the "direct add" option clearly in view).? The "direct add" dialogue form, however, is clearly designed to send out the invitation (I see no option for overriding this?).? Everything is pre-configured for the invitation to go out (any way to override? ... am I missing something here??).
?
Please advise.? I appreciate your help (it would be much more convenient for my clients if they didn't have to go thru the invitation process).
?
Thanks Again,
Steve

The Direct Add email is not an invitation. It is a notice that they've already been added to the group.

I don't think this email can be overridden. There are legal reasons why a person joining a group must be notified and given the opportunity to opt out.

Hope this helps,
Bruce?

Oh ... I see.? It's just a notice (nothing they need to do on their end unless/until they might wish to opt out).

I appreciate the help.

Thanks, Steve
 

Under Member Notifications, you can add a "Direct Add" notice that goes along with the auto one from Groups.IO.

Mine says something like "We have added you to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as you requested. You should also receive a Welcome email and a copy of our Group Guidelines. Please do NOT click on the Remove Me link below unless you have changed your mind and no longer want to join xxx! If you have questions they can be addressed to xxxxx@xxxxxxxx."

I added that after we had some members who got confused and clicked the Remove Me link, then wrote us and wondered why they weren't getting any messages yet. (The Welcome notice and Group Guidelines are also set up in that same location.)
