What is Invite by Link?

The Invite by Link feature allows team owners and admins to create a shareable invitation link that makes it easy for new members to join your team as Connectors. Anyone with the link can join without needing to sign up or go through a complex approval process.

How to Create an Invitation Link

  1. As a team owner or admin, navigate to your team's Members page and Connectors tab

  2. Click on "Invite with a Link"

  3. Copy the generated shareable link

  4. Share this link with people you want to invite to your team

Your invitation link will look like:
​https://www.theswarm.com/join?team=YourTeamName?YourTeamID

How It Works for New Members

When someone clicks your invitation link, they'll be taken to a customized join page where they can:

  1. Enter their LinkedIn profile URL - This is required to join as a Connector
    ​

  2. Share their LinkedIn connections (optional) by either:

    • Uploading a LinkedIn CSV file

    • Pasting LinkedIn profile URLs directly

    • Skipping this step for now
      ​

  3. Submit the form - After submission, they'll be processed and added to your team within 24 hours.

What Happens After Someone Joins

  • The new member will be added as a Connector to your team

  • You'll see them appear in your Connectors view

  • Team owners and admins will receive a confirmation notification

  • If they provided LinkedIn connections, these will be mapped to their profile

Key Benefits

  • No signup required - People can join immediately with just the link

  • Streamlined process - Simple form with optional connection sharing

  • Automatic setup - New Connectors are ready to use with mapped relationships

  • Flexible connection import - Multiple ways to add LinkedIn data

Important Notes

  • Only team owners and admins can generate invitation links

  • New members join as Connectors (not full team members)

  • Processing of new joiners happens within 24 hours
