Sign up for new membersThe members from the other organization receive 3 emails:

 

 

  • Your original meeting invitation.
  • An email from Challo, with a link to your track.
    • If necessary, the email tells them to sign up to access the track.
  • An update to the meeting invitation with details of the meeting.
Sharing content on your trackAdd some documents from Google Driveinto the track. You do not have to manage the file permissions to allow the members from another organizations to view them.  All track members can view a PDF of the content because Challo retrieves the files.

During the kick-off meeting you want to draw attention to some of the files you share on the track.
