Accept Invitation

Team invitation acceptance flow.

Overview

When a team owner or admin invites someone via email, the invitee receives a link to /accept-invitation?token=xxx. This page handles accepting the invitation and joining the team with the invited role (admin or member).

Flow

  1. Owner or admin invites via Admin → Team → Invite (picks role)
  2. POST /api/teams/invite creates invitation, sends email
  3. Invitee clicks link in email → /accept-invitation?token=xxx
  4. If not logged in: redirect to signup/login, then back to accept-invitation
  5. POST /api/teams/accept-invitation validates token, adds user with the invitation role
  6. Redirect to dashboard
Accept invitation — invalid or expired token state
