For many companies, collaborating with external clients and temporary workers is an integral part of their day. Redbooth facilitates this process by allowing you to add these workers as an external member.
These workers do not occupy any paid seats within your subscription. They can easily collaborate with you and your team within the workspaces they are added to. All external members are subject to the certain limitations which you can read about here.
How to invite external clients and workers
Inviting your external clients and workers to Redbooth could not be easier. They do not need to have a pre-existing Redbooth profile to be invited.
- Just follow these steps to invite them to a workspace.
- Repeat the above steps if they need to be added to more workspaces.
- They will receive an email inviting them to join.
- They must click on the link in the email to access Redbooth.
- Once they have clicked on the link, they can immediately begin to collaborate with you and your team on the project.
