What is the difference between (Queued / Requests / Pending / Approved) invitations?

Updated on
March 15, 2021

Depending on your settings if your Assembly is connected to an identity provider, or if you’ve invited members manually to your Assembly, your invited members will show up either in Queued, Requests, Pending, or Approved.

Who can use this feature?

Only Admins can invite and manage members of your Assembly. 

What to expect

  • It is possible to have invited members in any or all of these sections.
  • However, if your account is on a Free plan, you will only ever see invited members in the pending section (we’ll explain this more below).

Queued invitations

If you’ve connected your Assembly to an identity provider, and opted to send your invitations later, those invites will display under Queued. To send the invitations:

  1. From my.joinassembly.com, click the Admin icon in the lower left corner of the left navigation bar.
  2. Click Users in the left sidebar.
  3. Click Invite.
  4. Select Queued.
  5. Select one or multiple invited members. 
  6. Click the checkmark icon to approve the invitation. This will send invitations to all selected members.
  7. You can also delete or edit the pending invited members at any time (except for their email address*)
  8. If you delete a pending member, you will need to add them manually, or adjust your identity provider settings, to invite them again.

*For security purposes, you cannot change the member’s email once they have been invited; you must delete the invitation and resend to the proper email or contact Assembly support to change the email.  

Requested invitations

If you’ve connected your Assembly to an identity provider, and you require Admin Approval for all members, those invites will display under Requests. To approve these requests:

  1. From my.joinassembly.com, click the Admin icon in the lower left corner of the left navigation bar.
  2. Click Users in the left sidebar.
  3. Click Invite.
  4. Select Requests.
  5. Click the checkmark icon to approve the request. This will send an invitation to the approved member. This will move the invited member to the Approved section.
  6. Click the X icon to deny the request. The denied member will not receive an invite. You will need to add them manually, or adjust your identity provider settings, to send them another invitation. 
  7. You can also edit the requested invited members at any time (except for their email address*) 

*For security purposes, you cannot change the member’s email once they have been invited; you must delete the invitation and resend to the proper email or contact Assembly support to change the email.  

Pending invitations

Free, Business, and Enterprise plans can all invite members to their Assembly manually. If you are on a Free plan, you must upgrade to a Business or Enterprise plan to connect to an identity provider, so manual invitations are the only way Free plans can invite members to their Assembly. To view or manage your pending invitations:

  1. From my.joinassembly.com, click the Admin icon in the lower left corner of the left navigation bar.
  2. Click Users in the left sidebar.
  3. Click Invite.
  4. Select Pending.
  5. You can edit any of the member’s information at any time (except for their email address*) by selecting the pending member and clicking the edit icon.
  6. You can also delete a pending member or remind them to accept their invitation at any time. Sending a reminder will generate a reminder email for the pending member prompting them to accept the invitation. 

*For security purposes, you cannot change the member’s email once they have been invited; you must delete the invitation and resend to the proper email or contact Assembly support to change the email.
