Does Groups.io keep a record of invitations? #invitation


 

Just wondering, 'cause I actually haven't sent any yet.? (My group is at Stage 3 of 4 in the transfer; a few dozen members have signed up at GIO; the rest are awaiting automatic transfer; that's okay, I can be patient.)

When you send an invitation to join a Yahoo group it just sorta disappears into the ether.? You'll see the feeble confirmation that "You can sent 99 more invitations today" (or whatever), but you have no record of to whom invitations were sent and when.

Does GIO keep better track? That's a feature I'd really value.


 

I've only sent one invitation (as a test) which was accepted and it still shows up under Invite -> Sent Invitations (with a status of accepted).

I have a glob waiting for approval and those do not seem to show up anywhere yet. It would be nice if they could be in the same place with a "waiting approval" status but I believe they'll show up there once they are approved and go out.


 

Yes Groups.io allows you to track whom you have invited.?
In Admin, Invites. Two tabs - an invitation to be sent with a customizable section and the second tab is Sent Invitations.
Email addresses, date sent, status. Sortable list.
You can resend from here as well using the Actions toggle.
Cancel / Remove Invite is a bit cryptic (to my mind). You can remove the Invite but it doesn't remove their membership. It is just to tidy up the list.

True, that would be nice. That anomaly is because of the limiter on number of invitations sent at one time. You can input a lot more and you must wait. See this for more details and a link to a post about why.

You call them tabs- I only see buttons. Big difference.

OP- Go to Admin/? Invites, select the second button Sent Invitations, which displays the result of all- Sent- Accepted- Bounced/ Rejected etc.

Lets not over complicate an interface that has to be sued by thousands of admins, both technical and non-technical.
