Invite New Members Directly Into a Channel
What is it?
This feature allows you to invite new members into your AdvocateHub and have them land directly in a Channel.
Default invitation functionality does not allow you to invite members into a Channel directly. Rather, they must first land on the home page, then navigate to the Channel of interest. With some help from Influitive Support, you can have members bypass the home page.
Note: This feature only works for net-new members. There is currently no way for existing members to obtain a direct link to a Channel.
Why would I use it?
There are a few situations where you'd want people to join directly into a Channel. That can include:
- When you are hosting an online event in your Hub and using a specific Channel.
- When you have different training flows people need to complete before participating in the greater
How do I set it up?

- If you don't already have a Channel in mind, create one now. If you do have a Channel in mind, take note of its name. You will need to provide this to Influitive Support.
