Inviting Users

Big Team Challenge's walking and exercise challenges are based around friends, family and colleagues getting into teams and competing with one another. For this reason we've tried to build in as many ways as possible to get everyone on the system and organised into teams.

‍

Inviting users as the challenge organiser

As the organiser you have the ability to create teams for your users and hand select who goes in which team. This is great if you are wanting to keep teams organised and level, or perhaps if you are running a charity fundraiser and only wish to allow people into the system once they have contributed.

You can read more about administering teams here.

Inviting users as a participant

If you are allowing your participants more freedom, when they sign up to join the challenge, the first thing they are asked to do is join an existing team or create their own. If they create their own they are automatically designated as the team leader and can invite users via a simple invite form, which automatically sends out an email to the invitee.

Related FAQs

How do I invite people to join my team?

If you are the team creator, you can invite others to join you by sending an invite on the website or within the app. Go to the 'My Team' section and use the 'invite member' link to send a new invite. You’ll need to know the email address of the person you’re wishing to invite.

Can I leave a team if I want to join another team or create my own?

Yes, as long as you are not the team creator and the challenge is still in the registration period (before the challenge is live and users are able to add any distance).

If you wish to leave the team but are unable to for either of these reasons, please get in touch.
