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 passive 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, go to your team's Connectors page and Passive 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
