User Invitations

After creating the user with an active email address, they will receive an invitation to create a BulkSource account. If the invitation email is missed or lost, you can return to the user’s account and select Resend Invite.

Note: The invitation email may appear in the user’s Junk or Spam folder.

You can initially create users using a placeholder email address by leveraging email plus addressing. For example, you can use your own email and add a “+” so BulkSource recognizes it as a unique address. This is an effective way to set up permissions as users must be created before you can setup permissions.

How it works:
Email providers such as Gmail treat anything after a “+” (for example, [e-mail]) as the same inbox as [e-mail], while still recognizing it as a distinct email address.

How to use it:
When creating the user, enter an email in the format [e-mail]. You’ll receive the emails in your primary inbox.

Example: your email is [e-mail], you'd add a user with [e-mail] to setup a temporary email.

Optional filtering:
You can create email filters (for example, in Gmail) to automatically label or organize messages sent to these “+” addresses, helping keep your inbox organized.

When you’re ready to invite the user, you can update the email address to their correct email and send the invitation link.
