Return to an invitation after verifying a new account

Finish both account verification and workspace acceptance in the right order.

Updated 2026-11-11

When you need a new account to accept an invitation, create it using the invited email and complete email verification. Then return to the original workspace invitation to accept it.

The invitation page offers Create account and explains that you should return after verifying your email. Account creation establishes your sign-in identity; the invitation acceptance joins that identity to the named workspace.

Before selecting Accept invitation, check the organization name, invited email, and workspace role shown on the page. If any of those details look wrong, ask the sender to review the invitation. Do not accept an unfamiliar workspace just because its message reached your mailbox.

After acceptance, the page routes into the dashboard. If you instead remain in a new empty workspace, check the signed-in email and ask the administrator whether your invitation is still pending. Avoid creating another company before that check. Support can investigate with the invitation recipient and organization name, without receiving your verification email or password.
