Inviting people to join your community using custom invites allows you to preconfigure access to courses, channels, and resources within your community without needing to know their specific email addresses.
It is especially useful when inviting specific groups of people, such as students belonging to a course cohort or employees of an organization.
Step 1: Click the Admin Panel button.
Step 2: Click People on the side menu, then click on the Invite Members button.
Step 3: Click the Invite by Link option.
Step 4: You will have to complete the following fields before creating the invite link:
Invite link name: This will be the name of the invite link.
Role: You can assign a role to the invited member within your community. There are three options:
