Manually invite recipients – Alida Help Center

Enter a list of up to 20 comma-separated emails to distribute activities to ad-hoc recipients without needing to upload a CSV.

Admins can perform this task. To perform this task as a Power User, Author, or Video Discussions User, you must have Can access sensitive data enabled.

Note: Nonmembers may consider invitations to be unsolicited emails, which may negatively affect your IP address reputation and future email deliverability. Ensure the people who will receive these emails have consented to being contacted. For more information, see Alida External Sample Waiver.

Open an invitation.
On the Recipients tab, click the Recipients menu and select Enter recipients email.
The Enter Recipients dialog appears.
In the Enter emails here text box, type up to 20 emails in a comma-separated list.
Note:
- Unicode characters are not supported.
- This option does not allow you to pipe in [%FirstName%] and [%LastName%] variables.
- If you are inviting a member, the email must be the current email associated with the member profile.
- If you are inviting a nonmember, a new member record is created with non-member status.
- You cannot add email addresses from members of connected communities. However, you can include email addresses from people who belong to other communities outside your organization.
  
  Example
  
  You have two connected communities for sister skincare brands, Marin + Rose and MR2. If you are distributing an activity to Marin + Rose, you cannot invite members from MR2. You will need to create a separate distribution to invite members of MR2. However, you can invite a person who does not belong to the skincare brand communities at all, or who instead belongs to a healthcare company's community.
Click Done to return to the invitation.
In the Recipients area, click Edit to adjust the list of recipients, or Reset to remove all recipient settings.
