Join the Team

Learn how to join a Free, Basic, or Premium plan team after receiving an invitation.

To join a team, you must be invited by a user who is already a member of that team.

The way you join depends on the team’s plan.

  • Free plan team: Join using an invitation link shared by a team member.

  • Basic or Premium plan team: Join using an invitation email sent by TimeRex.

Join a Free Plan Team

To join a Free plan team, ask a team member to share an invitation link with you.

How to Join

  1. Open the invitation link shared with you.

  2. If you already have a TimeRex account, log in.

  3. If you do not have a TimeRex account, click Sign up at the bottom of the login screen and create an account.

  4. Confirm that the message Initial setup and joining the team are complete! appears.

  5. Click Go to Dashboard.

  6. Confirm that the team you joined appears on the Dashboard.

Notes

  • An invitation link expires 48 hours after it is issued.

    • If the link has expired, ask a team member to issue and share a new invitation link.

  • A Free plan team can have up to 100 members.

  • If the team already has 100 or more members, the following error appears and you cannot join the team: 403 Forbidden: You have exceeded the invitation limit.

Join a Basic or Premium Plan Team

When you are invited to a Basic or Premium plan team, TimeRex sends you an invitation email with the subject You have been invited to the team “XXXXX Team”.

How to Join

  3. If you do not have a TimeRex account, click Sign up at the bottom of the login screen and create an account.

  4. Confirm that the message Initial setup and joining the team are complete! appears.

  5. Click Go to Dashboard.

  6. Confirm that the team you joined appears on the Dashboard.

Notes

  • If a team upgrades from the Free plan to the Basic or Premium plan, or if a downgrade to the Free plan takes effect, you must be invited again.

  • You cannot join using an invitation link or the Join Team button in an invitation email sent before the plan change.

FAQ

Can I join a team using an invitation I received before the plan changed?

No.

If a team upgrades from the Free plan to the Basic or Premium plan, or if a downgrade to the Free plan takes effect, you must be invited again.

You cannot use an invitation link or the Join Team button in an invitation email sent before the plan change. Ask a team member to invite you again using the method for the team’s current plan.
