Getting a Project

When a project team wants you on board, you'll receive a project invitation. This article explains where invitations appear, how long you have to respond, and what accepting or declining means.

Where to find your invitations

Open Projects in the sidebar. Pending invitations are shown at the top of the page as cards. Each card shows:

  • The project name and the specific team (pool) you're invited to join
  • How long you have to respond, for example "Expires in 5 days" or "Expires today"

You'll also get an email when an invitation arrives, so keep an eye on your inbox.

Invitations expire

🚧

Invitations expire

Every invitation has a deadline, set per project. If the card says "Expires today", respond as soon as you can. Once the deadline passes, the card shows "This invite has expired" and you can no longer accept it.

If you're still interested in an expired invitation, contact support and the team can send you a new one.

Accepting an invitation

  1. On the invitation card, select Accept.
  2. A confirmation dialog appears. Confirm by selecting Accept again.

You're now a confirmed member of the project. It moves to your active projects list, and you'll start getting access to the project's tools and resources (see Working in production).

Declining an invitation

  1. On the invitation card, select Decline.
  2. A confirmation dialog appears. You can optionally tell us why you're declining, which helps us send you better-matched invitations in future.
  3. Confirm by selecting Decline.

Declining is not a penalty

As the dialog notes, you can be re-invited later, and it doesn't affect your standing on the platform or future opportunities.

What happens next

After you accept, your project appears under your active projects with a Confirmed badge. Most projects start with a training period called bootcamp before real work begins, and the project page shows your current stage. Watch your email and the project's Discord channel (once access is granted) for next steps.
