Invite members

Grow your community by inviting people directly. All invitations are managed from Admin → Members.

Invite one person

  1. Go to Admin → Members.
  2. Click Invite member.
  3. Enter the person's email address.
  4. (Optional) Set their role to member or admin. Defaults to member.
  5. Click Send invite.

They receive an email with a join link. New members land in your onboarding flow before reaching the community.

Invite in bulk

For onboarding a list at once:

  1. Go to Admin → Members → Bulk invite.
  2. Paste email addresses (one per line) or upload a CSV with an email column.
  3. Choose the role applied to all invited people.
  4. Click Send invites.

Bonfire skips addresses that are already members and reports how many invites were sent.

Share a join link

Prefer self-serve? Members can also sign in with email or Google from your community URL (subdomain or custom domain). Combine this with paid tiers to gate access automatically.

Track invitations

In Admin → Members, filter by status to see Pending invites. Resend or revoke any invite that hasn't been accepted.

Tip: Ask the AI Owner Copilot to "invite these admins" and confirm the action — it runs the same invite flow with an audit log entry.

FAQ

How do invited people sign in? With email or Google. There is no SAML/SSO.

Do pending invites expire? They stay pending until accepted or revoked. Revoke from the Members list anytime.

Can I invite people as admins? Yes — set the role to admin during single or bulk invite.

Is there a limit on bulk invites? Paste or upload as many emails as you need; already-existing members are skipped automatically.
