Email Invite Link
Hi, we are integrating Cord into our app to support commenting, and the process has been seamless so far. However, we want the ability for our users to email invite links for users within their org who haven't yet created an account in our app. Is this possible with Cord?
Hi @Yi Chao, there are a few options. The first is that threads/messages have a share via email link (see photo). The user can select that and email the thread to anyone. When that users gets the email, they can click the link to the message. You have an opportunity via the redirect url or in how you've structured auth in your application to then create an account or upsell them into an account. If you are using our new Beta Components, it is possible to use the @mention list and add an invite via email button that you control and sends your custom message. I've seen an internal demo of this very functionality, so I'll make sure we put it up on the docs as a demo for you to just copy/paste code to see it done.
I hope this helps. Is there some other means you were thinking of for inviting people?
Nope this is exactly what I was looking for. Yes I'd like to see the @mention list and add an invite via email button that'd be awesome. Thanks!
Also fyi the link in your message
https://docs.cord.com/components?version=2.0
is down.
Thanks for the heads up on the link: @Yi Chao. Strangely, I can navigate to that link, but not click to it directly. We are investigating.
Hey @Yi Chao we have some code at https://docs.cord.com/components/cord-thread?version=2.0 for an invite via email button in the mention list using our Beta components under the 'Add button to mention menu' example. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks! This looks exactly like what I'm looking for. When is this component going to be GA'd or is it close to being finished?
These components are in Beta. We are actively looking for feedback on them. But they are meant to be working and what we intend to ship, timeline still being decided. We just have a few more we are still working on before we release the whole lot as an update to the SDK. If you find issues or need features not yet supported, please let us know.
