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
As a team owner or admin, navigate to your team's Members page and Connectors tab
Click on "Invite with a Link"
Copy the generated shareable link
Share this link with people you want to invite to your team
Your invitation link will look like:
βhttps://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:
Enter their LinkedIn profile URL - This is required to join as a Connector
βShare their LinkedIn connections (optional) by either:
Uploading a LinkedIn CSV file
Pasting LinkedIn profile URLs directly
Skipping this step for now
β
Submit the form - After submission, they'll be processed and added to your team within 24 hours.
What Happens After Someone Joins
