Accept a family invite
An emailed link — there is no way to reach it from inside the portal
This is the real way a family joins. Your studio creates the family and emails you a link.
- Open the link from the studio’s email.
- If you are not signed in, the card reads "Join the {family} family" or "Join {studio}". Fill in First name, Last name, Email (already filled in from the invite) and Password, then click "Create Account & Accept". If that email already has a Catomni account the button reads "Sign In & Accept" instead.
- If you are already signed in with the right email, you get a short card and a single Accept Invite button.
- Joining an existing family — as a second guardian — takes you straight to My Students.
- Joining a brand-new family gives you one more card, "Add your first child", with the full add-child form. Fill it in, or click "I’ll do this later". Either way you land on My Students.
- An invite is tied to one email address. Signed in as somebody else, you get a "Wrong account" card telling you which address the invite was sent to, and a Log out button.
- An expired or already-used link shows "Invite not found" — "This invite is no longer valid — contact the studio for a new invite."
