Team Member Invite Mechanisms
Glide supports two ways to invite members to a team: email invites and magic links. These are accessible from multiple places in the Members page UI.
Email Invites
Expire after 3 days (72 hours)
If a user tries to accept an expired invite, the invite is deleted and they receive an “Invite is too old” error
Expired invites are automatically filtered out of the pending invites list on the Members page
Can be resent from the Members page, which creates a new invite with a fresh 3-day window
Magic Links (Persistent Invite Code)
Generates a shareable URL in the format
{builderURL}/join/{code}Does not expire — the link remains valid indefinitely until manually reset or rotated
Any team member with write access can view, copy, or reset the link (not restricted to Admins)
There is only one persistent invite code per team — all UI surfaces that generate or display magic links share the same code
Important: Because there is a single shared code, generating a new one from any surface invalidates the previous link everywhere. For example, clicking “Copy link” on the Members page sidebar rotates the code, which also invalidates the link shown in the “Invite” dialog, and vice versa.
Where Invites Appear in the UI
UI Location | Invite Type | Behavior |
”Enter email…” + “Send invite” (Members page) | Email invite | Sends an email-based invite to a specific address. Expires in 3 days. |
”Copy link” button (Members page sidebar) | Magic link | Generates a new persistent code each time it is clicked and copies it to the clipboard. |
”Invite” button (top-right corner) — email input | Email invite | Sends email-based invites to one or more comma-separated addresses. Expires in 3 days. |
”Invite” button (top-right corner) — “Invite via magic link” section | Magic link | Displays the current persistent code. Clicking Reset generates a new one. |
