Invite members
Generate an invitation for someone to join your syndicate.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Only owners and admins can create invitations.
- On the free tier, the syndicate is capped at three members. If you already have three members, creating an invitation to a fourth prompts you to upgrade. On web, the upgrade dialog opens a checkout in a new tab. On mobile, an upgrade email is sent automatically to your account’s email address. See Free-tier limits.
- You need to decide the invitee’s role (admin, member, or viewer) and their member type (equity partner or renter) before you start. Both are set on the invite and carry across when they accept.
- You must be online. The Generate Invitation button writes through a server-side flow and disables when the device is offline.
- Open the syndicate and switch to the Members tab.
- Tap the Invite member floating action button (bottom right).
- Optionally enter the invitee’s Email. Entering an email sends the invitation to them directly. Leaving it blank generates a link only — you copy or share it yourself.
- Pick the Role — Admin, Member, or Viewer. The default is Member. See Role capability matrix.
- Pick the Member Type — Equity Partner or Renter. Equity partners hold an ownership share; renters pay to use the asset without ownership.
- For equity partners, set the Ownership Share slider to the percentage they’ll hold. A warning appears if the total across all current and invited members would exceed 100%.
- If the syndicate has more than one billing scheme configured, pick one from the Billing Scheme dropdown. Leaving it on Syndicate default assigns the default scheme on acceptance.
- Optionally add a Welcome Message (shown to the invitee on the accept screen) and pick an Expires In value (1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days; default 7).
- Tap Generate Invitation.
A dialog opens showing the invitation link. If you entered an email, the invitee receives an email automatically with the same link. Otherwise, tap Copy to copy the link or Share to open the system share sheet and send it through any app.
Offline behaviour
Section titled “Offline behaviour”The Generate Invitation button watches connectivity. When the device is offline, the button disables and shows Invites need a connection — try again when you’re online in a snackbar if you tap it. It re-enables automatically when the connection returns.
Invite generation hits a server-side auth flow that issues a single-use code, stores the invite row, and (if you provided an email) sends the email via the backend mailer. None of those steps can be queued offline — the code must be reserved by the server before the link is shareable.
If it goes wrong
Section titled “If it goes wrong”- The Generate Invitation button is disabled. The device is offline. See Offline behaviour above. Otherwise check that you have entered all required fields (member type and, for equity partners, an ownership share).
- Upgrade dialog appears instead of the invite form. You’ve hit the three-member free-tier limit. On web, tap Upgrade Now to start checkout; on mobile, check your email inbox for the upgrade link. See Upgrade prompt.
- “Warning: Total equity will be over 100%”. The equity share you’re assigning would push the syndicate’s total ownership above 100%. Either lower the share, or check that earlier members’ shares are correct.
- The invitee says they never received the email. The email is sent from Syndik8; ask them to check spam. Even if the email fails to deliver, the link in the confirmation dialog remains valid — you can share it another way. Codes are usable once.
