# Invite a team member

> Add someone to the team and track pending invitations.

<Note>
  Only admins can add team members.
</Note>

Add someone to the team, and they get an email inviting them to set up their account. Once they accept, they can sign in, see the rota and join shifts.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Team">
    Tap **Team** in the bottom navigation bar, then tap **+** at the top right.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in their details">
    * **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Email** (required). Use the email address they'll sign in with.
    * **Phone Number** (optional).
    * **Role:** **Member** or **Admin**. This is the role shown next to their name on the **Team** page.
    * **Set Active:** on by default. If you turn it off, they're shown as inactive on the **Team** page. See [Edit or remove a team member](/admins/manage-team-members).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap Add Member">
    Tap **Add Member**. A message at the top of the screen confirms they've been added.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens next

The new team member gets an invitation email with a link to set up their account. Send them to [Accept your invitation](/getting-started/accept-your-invitation) if they need help.

## Check pending invitations

On the **Team** page, tap **Invitations** to see people who haven't accepted yet. Each invitation shows the email address, the role, when it was sent and its status. If nobody is waiting, you see **No pending invitations**.

## Common problems

### They didn't get the invitation

Ask them to check their spam or junk folder. Check under **Invitations** that you used the right email address.

### The invitation link has expired

Invite them again: tap **+** on the **Team** page and add them with the same email address.
