Members
Add, invite, and manage the humans in your workspace — team and customers alike.
Members
Members are the humans in your workspace - both your team and your customers.
Adding Members
- Go to People → Members
- Click Add Member
- Fill in their details:
| Field | What It's For |
|---|---|
| Name | Their full name |
| Date of Birth | Birth date for identity checks and age/date filters |
| Required - how they log in | |
| Phone | For SMS and voice calls |
| Role | What they can access |
| External ID | Link to your other systems |
Inviting Members
For users who need to log in and access the workspace:
- Go to People → Members
- Click Invite Member
- Enter their email and select a role
- They receive an email with a link to join
Invitations expire after 7 days. Resend from the member's action menu if needed.
Public Workspaces: If your workspace allows join requests, users can request access from your site. Review requests in Settings → Invitations.
Managing Credentials
Admins can help members who lose access to their email or phone:
- Find the member in People → Members
- Click ⋮ → Change Email or Change Phone
- Enter the new credential
- Member receives a confirmation link at their current contact method
- Once confirmed, the credential updates
This is safer than directly editing credentials—it ensures the member approves the change.
Team vs. Customers
| Type | Who They Are |
|---|---|
| Team Members | Your staff. They log in, manage workflows, handle escalations. |
| External Contacts | Your customers. They interact through chats, forms, and sites. |
The difference is in their role - team members get admin-style roles, customers get limited-access roles.
Labels
Labels are tags you attach to members to organize and filter them:
- "VIP", "New Customer", "Enterprise"
- Use labels in Actions to trigger automations
- Use labels in CEL conditions to control access
Anonymous & Test Members
Two special member types live alongside regular members:
- Anonymous members are created automatically when someone reaches your workspace from an unknown phone number or email (typically inbound calls or SMS). Review and resolve them from the Anonymous tab.
- Test members are sandbox accounts you create for QA, demos, training, or load testing. They can't log in and aren't counted toward billing.
See Anonymous & Test Members for the full resolution workflow, expiration steps, and test-member usage guide.
Experiment assignments
When your workspace uses Experiments (A/B Testing), open a Member profile → Experiments tab to see which Groups they belong to, when they were assigned, and how (lazy assignment from a CEL branch vs. future explicit tools).
Archiving Members
Archive members you no longer need but want to keep records for:
- Click ⋮ on a member row → Archive
- Archived members can't log in but their data is preserved
- Unarchive anytime from the Archived filter
