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
  5. Neither Refbook support or the organisation can create or edit Family Groups and its membership

Adding Members to a Family Group

  4. Enter the member's valid Refbook email address
  5. Select a role for the Family Group

  6. Click Invite and confirm
    1. If the user does not have a refbook account, they will be automatically invited to create a refbook account.
    2. If the user already has a refbook account, they will be located. Click 'Confirm'.

  7. This will send an email invite to the user to accept the invitation
