Open your invite link, create an account or sign in, and join the workspace
Accept Your Invite
This page covers opening your invite link, creating your account (or signing in), and what happens when you join.
Open the invite link
Click the button in your invite email, or paste the link (.../org/invite/<token>) into your browser. You'll see a branded preview showing:
- The workspace you've been invited to
- The role you'll have (usually Coach)
- A personal welcome note, if your admin added one
If the page says the invite is invalid, already used, or expired, ask your admin to resend it. Invite links expire 14 days after they're created and can only be accepted once.
If you don't have a Surflink account yet
- On the invite preview, click Create account.
- The signup form opens with your name and email already filled in. Your email is locked -- the invite is tied to that exact address, so you can't change it here.
- Choose a password (at least 8 characters).
- Click Create Account.
Because your invite proves you own that inbox, you skip email verification and can start using Surflink right away.
You won't get your own separate workspace. Invited coaches join the inviting workspace instead of being given a personal one -- that's expected and keeps everything in one place.
Signing up with Google / Apple
If you use a social sign-in, that works too. Use the Continue with... option from the signup page; Surflink recognizes that you came from an invite and adds you to the workspace instead of creating a stray personal one.
If you already have a Surflink account
- On the invite preview, click I already have an account.
- Sign in as usual.
- The invite is accepted automatically -- you don't need to do anything else.
What accepting does
When you accept, Surflink:
- Adds you to the workspace as an active member with your assigned role.
- Fills in your coach name from the invite if you hadn't set one.
- Makes the workspace your home workspace (switches you into it).
- Assigns you to any athletes the admin pre-selected for you.
- Drops you on your dashboard.
