Invite someone to your team
People join a project by invitation. The founder, or a lead with the Members permission, finds devchaos.com members by name, picks a position for each and sends the invitation. Once a person accepts, they are on the team.
Who invites: the project's founder or a lead with the Members permission
Who is invited: must be a devchaos.com member
Open the invite window
In the project's column, click the project's name at the top and choose Invite a teammate. The same button is on the Project settings › Team and roles page.
Find people
Type a name or username in the search box; while it is empty, the people you follow are listed. You can tick several people, up to 20 at a time.
Pick a position
Each person you tick becomes a row below the list. Use the button on the row to pick their position on the team; nobody is invited without one. If you like, write a short note that goes to all of them.
Send
Press Send invitation. Invitations wait on the Invitations tab of Manage team until they are accepted; you can Withdraw invitation there.
If you were invited
The invitation reaches you in the app as a notification. You can answer it in any of these places:
- the Invitation card in the corner: Accept or Decline
- the Requests tab of Notifications in the top bar
- the Invites section on Home: Join or Decline
- on devchaos.com, on the Your workspace page under You've been invited to join
Once you accept, the project shows up in the strip on the left, and the team is told you joined.
Positions can change later
Everyone can change their own position. The founder and leads with the Members permission can change anyone's: in Manage team › Members, click the person's position.
If the person you are looking for doesn't come up, they are not a devchaos.com member yet. Send them the page on creating an account.
Something went wrong?
I can't see Invite a teammate.
Only the founder and leads with the Members permission send invitations. While the project is paused or archived, nobody can invite. Who may do what is explained under roles.
The person shows On the team or Invited, and I can't tick them.
They are already on the team, or an invitation is waiting for them. If it is still on the Invitations tab, you can withdraw it and send it again.
The person I invited can't see the invitation.
The invitation goes to their app and to the Your workspace page on devchaos.com. Make sure they are signed in with the account you invited.
