Inviting users to Databook

How to invite people by email or CSV, and control which email domains can join

Written by Alex

You can invite people to your Databook organization by email, or in bulk with a CSV file. You can also limit invitations and sign-ups to the email domains you approve.

You need to be an Organization Admin to invite users. To review the people already in your organization or change their roles, see How to manage user licenses for your Databook organization.

Open the invite window

  1. In Databook, select your Profile icon, then Admin Settings.

  2. In the left panel, select Config, then Membership.

  3. On the Users tab, select + Invite in the top right corner.

Invite people by email

  1. In the Email field, enter one or more email addresses. Separate multiple addresses with commas. Hit enter after you add an email.

  2. Select Send Invites.

Each person receives an invitation email. Until they accept, they appear on the Users tab with a status of pending.

Invite people with a CSV file

Use a CSV file to invite many people at once.

  1. In the invite window, select Download template.

  2. Add the email addresses to the file, following the format of the template.

  3. Upload the completed file using Upload CSV.

Before you upload:

  • Email addresses go in the first column. Every entry must be a valid email address.

  • Do not include column headers.

  • Role names must match exactly. If your file includes roles, they are case-sensitive.

  • People you have already invited are ignored. You do not need to remove them from the file.

Control which email domains can join

The Approved email domains section lets you restrict invitations and self-service sign-ups to specific email domains. Only people with an email address at one of your approved domains can receive an invitation or create an account.

To add a domain, enter it (for example, company.com) and select Add. To remove one, remove it from the list.

If you add no domains, people can sign up with an email address from any domain.

Change a new user's role

After someone joins, you can change their role at any time from the Users tab. See How to manage user licenses for your Databook organization.

Troubleshooting

What you see

What to check

Someone cannot accept their invitation

Check that their email domain is on your approved list. If you have approved domains, only those domains can join.

Someone says they did not receive the email

Ask them to check their spam or junk folder, and confirm the address you entered is correct.

A person you invited shows as pending

They have not yet accepted the invitation.

Your CSV upload does not pick up everyone

People you have already invited are ignored. Check the file has no column headers and the emails are in the first column.
