Overview
When someone adds you to a Flipsnack workspace, you receive an email invitation that you must accept before you can access it. Two problems come up often: the invitation link expires before it is used, or the workspace does not show up after you accepted. Both have quick fixes, explained below.
Note: Invitation links are valid for 24 hours. After that, a fresh invitation is needed.
Accept a workspace invitation
- Open the invitation email and click the invitation link.
- Complete the activation steps, which may include setting a password if you are new to Flipsnack.
- After activation, click your account icon in the upper-right corner and use Switch workspace to see and move between all workspaces available to you.
If your invitation expired
- Ask your workspace admin or account owner to resend a new invitation.
- Use the most recent invitation email; older links will not work once a new one has been sent.
- Complete every activation step after clicking the new link, including setting a password if prompted.
If a workspace does not appear
- Check Switch workspace under your account icon to confirm whether the workspace is listed.
- Confirm the workspace was created under the same email address you are logged in with; workspaces tied to a different email will not appear.
- Ask an admin to verify in the Organization dashboard that your account is listed as a member of that workspace with the correct role and permissions.
- If you keep seeing errors after accepting a fresh invitation, contact your admin or reach our support team via live chat.
Troubleshooting checklist
- You clicked the most recent invitation link, within 24 hours of it being sent.
- You completed all activation steps, including setting a password if requested.
- You are logged in with the email address the invitation was sent to.
- An admin confirmed your membership and role in the Organization dashboard.
