Invite your team

By email or CSV upload.

The product becomes useful as soon as more than one person is on it. Get the team in first.

Option 1: Invite by email (fastest for small teams)

  1. In Vacation Flow, open Settings → Team.
  2. Click Invite members.
  3. Paste email addresses — one per line, or comma-separated.
  4. Set their role: Member (request leave, view the team calendar), Manager (also approves direct reports’ PTO), or Admin (full access including billing and settings).
  5. Click Send invites.

Your teammates get a clean email with a link to set their password. No approval workflow on your side — they're active as soon as they accept.

Option 2: CSV upload (faster for larger teams)

  1. Go to Settings → Team → Import from CSV.
  2. Download the template CSV.
  3. Fill in the columns: first_name, last_name, email, role, manager_email, start_date.
  4. Upload the file.
  5. Review the preview — fix any errors.
  6. Click Send invites.

Good for teams of 10 or more, or if you’re migrating from another tool.

Troubleshooting

Common issues
They didn't receive the invite
Check spam first; some corporate spam filters are aggressive. Resend from Settings → Team → click their row → Resend invite.
Wrong email address
Delete the invite, re-create with the correct email. No penalty, no impact on billing.
They need manager permissions after signup
Click their row in Settings → Team → change role to Manager. Takes effect immediately.
