Your invitation links can now be on your own subdomain (e.g., join.acmetasks.com) instead of Vortex’s jyn.us domain. Look for the Domains entry in the Vortex sidebar.

Editor improvements

A new row selection paradigm makes editing your invitation form and email templates much easier. Mouse up and down either side of your invitation form or template to select a row. From there you can update its settings in the left pane, move it via drag-and-drop, or delete it.Speaking of drag-and-drop, the experience should be improved overall, making it easier for you to identify the dropzone. Dragging also now works even when your mouse pointer isn’t directly above the form/template.Numerical settings have improved widgets for incrementing/decrementing the value or clearing it.

​
Email Deliverability chart

An expanded chart now includes information on open rate, click-through rate, bounce rate, and spam report rate.

​
Renaming your invitation flow

In addition to renaming by clicking on the flow name when viewing the flow, you can also select a new “Rename” option from the ellipses menu in the flow’s section on the Invitation Flows page.

You can now customize the text for both the link sharing options and the contact import options. Click on either element on your invitation form and look for the “Button Text” section in the Settings.

Update to invitation acceptance

The acceptInvitations method (or /api/v1/invitations/accept endpoint if you’re using the Vortex API) currently accepts a target object that includes type and email. This has been replaced with a user object that includes name, email, and phone. The phone parameter is for future support of SMS invitations, so email is the only parameter currently required. We do encourage you to send name as well, though, as you’ll soon be able to include the invitee name sent here in your template for the Acceptance notification email (e.g., “Sally Smith accepted your invitation!).This is not a breaking change, and you may continue to send the target object, but we do encourage you to update your acceptance flow at your earliest convenience.

Autojoin

You can now simplify the process of one user inviting other users by eliminating the need for an invitation altogether. Autojoin allows users to join based on the domain of their email address. For example, AcmeTasks may allow anyone to join their organization on your service by signing up with an @acmetasks.com email address. Autojoin is an excellent option for B2B services, where all users in an organization are typically on a shared email domain. Instead of having to manually enter or select email addresses, a user could simply post a message to Slack or Teams and tell everyone that “We’re now using SuchAndSuch service. Just sign up using your work email to join our organization.”The checkbox to enable autojoin should only be exposed to users in your customer organizations that have appropriate privileges (e.g., admins). You control this by including the autoJoin scope in the adminScopes parameter of your JWT payload when the current user has sufficient privileges.
