Joining a team on Taskbird is quick and easy. As soon as you finish entering your info in the sign up process and get to the screen shown below, make sure to select the option to "Join a Team: I was invited to join a team by email or SMS", and hit "Next."
In the next screen, you will be prompted to enter your invitation code. The invitation code can be found in the email or SMS text message you received from the owner of your team.
Note: Invites expire after 7 days, so make sure to conclude this step within a week, before your invitation code expires. If your invitation expires, you will need to ask your team's owner to send you a new invitation from their end.
If your code is correct, as soon as you finish entering it, the app will load and generate your team member account for you, which will be connected to that team so you can start receiving tasks βοΈ
