Invite new members to join your account

💡Tip: Before inviting team members to join your account, we recommend getting familiar with your account's settings. Check out the Otter Business Admin Guide.

Now that you've completed the basics of setting up your account, it's time to bring your account to life by inviting team members to join. 

Note: When you add new members partway through the billing cycle, we'll charge a prorated amount for the remaining time in your billing cycle. Learn more about how you are billed.

The account owner and admins can view pending invitations and make either of the following changes:

• Revoke Invitation
  Revoke an invitation to prevent an invited member from using it or disable email notifications they may receive from Slack before accepting
• Resend Invitation
  Send a new email invitation if the original has expired or been lost

Team members with an existing Otter account

If a team member has a free Basic account with Otter, their account will transfer to the new Otter Business account. All existing conversations will transfer over as well but are only visible and accessible to the team member.

If a team member has a paid Pro subscription, your Pro subscription will immediately end. Any remaining credit on the Pro subscription will not be refunded automatically. Please contact support for assistance.
