There are two ways to invite members when community members sign-up is close:
Invite by email
Invite by link
Invite by email
This is a method of inviting members to your community and sending the invite directly to their email. Those whose emails are added to this invite are the only ones eligible to join the community; emails not added to the invite will not be able to join the community.
This method is similar to Bulk CSV upload; Bulk CSV upload enables you to upload multiple emails instead of entering the email addresses individually.
Invite by link
This is a method of inviting prospective members by sending them a direct link to the invite. Anyone with the invite link can join the community.
