How to Invite Users to Your Account (Interactive)

 

Note: Inviting Users is available on all Time Doctor plans and can be accessed by Owners and Admins; Managers can invite users to their teams if Allow managers to invite new users is enabled in Settings / Company Settings.

 

TL;DR
  • Invite teammates from Invite page via email entry, Add from Google Contacts, Invite by Sending a Link, or Add by CSV.
  • Assign Access level, Groups, Projects, and configure Screencasts and Edit time before sending.
  • For link invites, recipients create accounts and are guided to install the Desktop App.
  • Only Owners/Admins can invite by default; Managers may invite when permission is enabled.
 
Add new users to the Time Doctor account from the Invite page. Choose one of several methods: direct email invites, importing from Google Contacts, sending a shareable invite link, or importing a CSV.

 

Keep in mind: Differences between Interactive and Automatic App users may impact onboarding requirements. Review the article on tracking types before proceeding.

 

Invite via Email

Invite by email

  1. Go to Invite.
  2. Enter the email addresses of the users to invite.
    • Enter addresses manually, or select Add from Google Contacts to import emails from the Google account.
  3. Set Access level.
  4. Select Groups and Projects.
  5. Configure Screencasts and Edit time settings as needed.
  6. Select Show more to review additional options.
  7. Select Send invites.

 

What invitees see

  • Receive an email with a Join Your Team link.
  • Create an account and set a password.
  • Download and install the Time Doctor Desktop App to begin tracking.

 

Invite by Sending a Link

Invite by link-1

  1. Go to Invite and open Invite by Sending a Link.
  2. Copy the unique signup link.
  3. Share the link (for example, via group email or chat).

 

Behavior of link invites

  • Anyone registering via the link joins the trial/company as a Regular user with the ability to track their own time.
  • Registrants complete signup and are guided to download and install the Desktop App.
  • After installation, optionally deploy the Chrome or Firefox browser extensions for integrations (e.g., Jira, Asana).

 

Add Users by CSV Import

Invite by CSV

Use CSV import to create user accounts without sending invite emails.
  1. Go to Invite > Add by CSV.
  2. Download the CSV template and populate the required fields.
  3. Upload the CSV file to create users.
  4. Install the desktop app on employees’ computers and distribute credentials.

 

When to use CSV

  • Bulk onboarding.
  • Automatic/Silent environments where emails are not sent.

 

Who Can Send Invites?

  • Owners and Admins can invite users by default.
  • Managers can invite users only if Allow managers to invite new users is enabled in Settings / Company Settings.
