refbook Adding Members to a Family Group

Adding members to a Family Group

The process of users joining a Family Group works similarly to the Contact Linking workflow (ie: invitation and acceptance).

Notes:
  1. The creator of a new Family Group is automatically added as its Family Manager and foundation member
  2. The Family Manager of the Family Group must have a user's email address as used in Refbook in order to connect
  3. There is no limit to the number of Family Managers or Members within a Family Group
  4. All members must accept an invite to join a Family Group
