Once you start sending invites in Elevate, the people who have filled out your application page form will show up as Applicants in your project, so you can decide if you're interested in moving forward.

Within the Applicants tab, you can easily accept people into your project by selecting one or multiple checkboxes and clicking Approve.

If you Accept someone, they will move into the first stage of your project workflow, where you can then send a Welcome Email to say hello 👋

If you Reject someone, you will still be able to find them in your Members list, but you will no longer see this person in your project. Don't worry, they won't receive a rejection message.
