Invite your athletes

There are two ways to bring athletes in. Choose whichever suits your group. You can use both on the same team.

	Invite link or code	Email invitation
Best for	A whole group at once	Specific people
How it reaches them	You paste it in a group chat	Everstride emails them
Athlete types their own details	Yes	Mostly filled in for them
Expires	When you change it	After 14 days

Invite link or code

1. Open Team settings and find the team.
2. Choose Invite link. If this is the team’s first link, choose Create invite link.
3. Choose Copy message to get a ready-made message for your group chat, or Copy link for the link alone.
4. Paste it into your team chat.

Each athlete who opens the link creates their own account and joins the team.

You also get a short team code such as ABCDE-12345. Athletes can type it into the app instead of opening the link.

Choose your own code

Choose Use your own code to pick something easy to remember. Keep in mind that a memorable code is also easier to guess, and setting a new code stops the old link working.

Change the link

If a link ends up in the wrong place, choose Rotate link. The old link and code stop working straight away. Athletes already on the team stay on it.

Email invitation

1. Open Team settings and find the team.
2. Choose Invite by email.
3. Enter one or more email addresses. You can paste a whole list.
4. For a single invitation, add the athlete’s first and last name if you’d like. The email then greets them by name, and their sign-up form is already filled in.
5. Add a Personal note if you like, up to 500 characters. It appears in each athlete’s email.
6. Choose Send invitation.

Each invitation stays valid for 14 days. While it’s pending you can Resend it or revoke it, and the note is sent again if you resend.

What your athlete receives

An email invitation comes from you “via Everstride”, with the subject “Join your team name on Everstride”. It includes your note, a short explanation of Everstride and a link to get started.

Whichever way they arrive, each athlete then:

1. Creates an account and confirms their email.
2. Chooses what you can see.
3. Connects a device.

You can share the athlete setup guide with your team to help them through it.

You'll get an email when someone joins

When an athlete joins through your link, you receive an email, and they appear on your dashboard and in Team settings.

If an athlete can’t join

What they see	What to do
“This link is no longer valid”	The link was rotated. Send them the current one.
“This invitation has expired”	Send a new invitation, or resend it.
The team is full	Your plan’s athlete limit has been reached. See Plan and billing.
“You already have an account”	They should sign in, then accept the invitation.
