Invite on wave by email

June 1, 2011 by Daniël

We’ve updated Peers.me with some new features.

Invite on wave by email Sometimes you realize you’re creating a wave and would like to share it with someone who hasn’t got an account at your Peers.me yet. Normally you would have to save your wave and navigate to a group to invite the new user. Then you have to wait untill he activated his account and share the wave with him. Yes, that could take some time.

From today we introduce the possibility to invite a new user directly on the wave by email. Just fill in the email address and click on ‘invite by email’. The new user will be invited after admin approval. After signup, the new user automatically has the wave in his inbox.

Request account To collect a list of users who need to be invited to your Peers.me has become easier. Just point them to your login page and tell them to click the link ‘Don’t have an account? Request one here!’. After they fill in the form, the admin will be notified of the request and can invite them with one click. To allow account requests or not is configurable at the admin configuration page.

 

Auto accept invites and requests While inviting by email on a wave makes it easier for users who would like to invite others, the admin still has to accept the invitations. To make this easier we’ve come up with auto accept settings for group and wave email invites and account requests. Just enter the number of maximum auto accepts or just don’t set it at all to accept everything. Don’t want to auto accept anything, set it on 0.

You can find these settings at the configuration page (admin only).

Administrator notifications No more long waiting times for users for an admin to approve their actions, we will notify them right away! When there are pending administrator actions, like approving wave email invites or account requests, an alert shield appears next to the admin menu button. Clicking this will provide an overview of pending actions. Moreover, we will sent the admin a weekly email with the pending administrative actions.
