Use cases

Account invite lifecycle

The account invite lifecycle outlines the stages involved in sending, managing, and accepting invitations for individuals to become team members in a Wix account.

  1. Invite created: When Create Invite is called, an email invitation is created and sent to each invitee.
  2. Invitee receives email: The invitee receives the invite email.
  3. Invitee responds to invite: The invitee can take one of the following actions:
    • Accept the invite by following the link in the email, provided the invite is still valid (i.e., it is not expired or previously been used).
    • Ignore the invite until it expires.
  4. Role assigned: When an invitee accepts, they are assigned the role specified in the invite.
