Because we rely on them clicking on the invitation link and have been using the ‘Add to group’ feature. This also helped with the automation we’re using:
- Learner clicks on the link
- Existing or new, they’re added to a group and redirected to a topic post
- The topic post is in a private category which only people added to the group can view it (but now only new users can view these topics because [existing users] are no longer being added to the group hence the new changes)
- In some cases, when they’re added to the group (after clicking on the link) we have it connected to a webhook which grants a badge, or does other automations based on this step.
This has been working perfectly for us for about two and a half years.
