How Team Captains Can Generate Team Invite Codes
1. Log into your account on the 10,000 Steps website and navigate to your Dashboard.
2. From the Dashboard, navigate to Team Tournaments and click on View Tournaments.
3. Select View Tournament on the current or upcoming Tournament you'd like to generate a code for.
4. Click your Team's name on the Tournament Leaderboard.
Clicking doesn't go anywhere? You might not be assigned as Team Captain.
Only Team Captains and Coordinators can edit teams and generate invite codes.
Your current Team Captain can Reassign the Role of Team Captain. Reach out to your Coordinator if your team has no Captain assigned.
5. Click Team actions, and select Get team invite code from the drop-down.
- A unique Team Invite Code will be generated, along with an example message including a clickable link to join this Team.
- You can find the code again by clicking Get team invite code. This code is unique to your team and will remain the same unless the team is deleted.
Sharing the Team Invite Code
- A box will pop up on the screen with the generated team invite code
- Copy the sample message, edit as needed, and send it to your team members via email, messaging apps, or any preferred communication method.
- Tip: Use a communication platform that your team members are familiar with.
- Participants must have a 10,000 Steps account with a verified email address before the Team Invite Code will be active.
- For new members, the code can be entered during sign up and activation will be completed once their account is verified.
- For existing members, the code can be activated on the website or mobile app by:
- following the invite link
- entering the code in the website Invites section
- Entering the code in the mobile app Activate Invite Code section
Note: Team Captains are responsible for ensuring their Team Invite Code isn't shared beyond their legitimate Team Members. Confirm with your Coordinator before sharing your code on any large internal shared platform. Sharing on open or public platforms is not advised.
