Invite new users

You can invite users to join your organization by sending out email invitations, or creating reusable invitation links to share.

Prior to inviting users to your organization, it is recommended that administrators:

When you invite users, you can:

  • Set the role that they will have when they join.

  • Configure which channels they will be added to. The organization's default channels will be preselected.

Organization administrators can configure which roles have permission to invite users to the organization. You will only see an Invite users menu option if you have permission to invite users.

Send email invitations

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Click on the gear () icon in the upper right corner of the web or desktop app.

  2. Select Invite users.

  3. Enter a list of email addresses.

  4. Toggle Send me a direct message when my invitation is accepted, to receive a notification when an invitation is accepted.

  5. Select when the invitations will expire.

  6. Select what role the users will join as.

  7. Configure which channels they will be added to.

  8. Click Invite.

Note: As an anti-spam measure, the number of email invitations you can send in a day is limited on the Zulip Cloud Free plan. If you hit the limit and need to invite more users, consider creating an invitation link and sharing it with your users directly, or contact support to ask for a higher limit.

Warning: When an account is created by accepting an email invitation, the user is immediately logged in to their new account. Any restrictions on allowed authentication methods are not applied.
