Common questions
Can I edit the timeline invite email?
Yes, you can. Please refer to this help article to learn more.
My client didn't receive the invite email. How do I resend it?
The invite email is sent from your email account, so please check your "Sent" folder. You should find the email there and you can forward it to your client.
Can I send my clients a link to the timeline?
When you invite someone to a timeline, they receive a personalized, secure link to the timeline. So the link you use to access the timeline will be different from the link your clients use to view the timeline.
If you want to send someone a link to the timeline, share the timeline with them, and then copy the link from the timeline invite email in your "Sent" folder.
