Create a New Invite Pack

Adding additional Invite Packs starts at Pro. A new Pack should represent one repeatable invitation workflow with a clear staff-facing name and one valid User Type Profile.

The Pack editor exposes the current 2.0.4 fields needed for that workflow; email message content itself is maintained in Email Templates.

Before You Add a Pack

  • Effective tier must be Pro, Max, or All Access to add another Pack.
  • Create and publish the User Type Profile first.
  • Verify the Profile is inside the current Profile allowance and maps only to safe destination groups.
  • Prepare or choose the QCFUM Email Template you want the invitation to use.

Create the Pack

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator → Invite Packs and choose Add New Invite Pack.
  2. Enter a clear Pack title and optional description.
  3. Select the required Profile.
  4. Select an Email Template.
  5. Set Expires after days to 1 or more.
  6. Enter the recipient-facing Landing message.
  7. Enable Override: require approval only when this Pack should force approval at Pack-based account completion.
  8. Choose whether to Send invite email.
  9. Publish the Pack when it is ready for current use and save it.

Understand the Save-Time Boundary

The Pack form supplies the current selectable Profiles and Email Templates, but runtime validation is still important. At Invite Link creation QCFUM rechecks that the Pack is published/allowed and that its Profile is currently published and available. This protects the workflow if configuration changes after the Pack was saved.

Test the Invitation

Create a real test Invite Link from the frontend. Verify the calculated expiration, selected template, landing text, approval behavior, and final Joomla group assignment. If the Pack is intended to support Join Codes, test that separately under Max/All Access because Join Codes have their own publication, expiration, usage-limit, and Pack/Profile validation.

Tier Limits and Downgrades

Pro allows up to 10 Invite Packs; Max and All Access are unlimited for QCFUM. Extra Packs survive a downgrade but can be locked outside the current allowance. QCFUM preserves configuration rather than deleting it.
