The problem it solves

When you add someone to a spreadsheet of new sign-ups or team members, you still have to manually create their account and send them an invite. It's easy to forget someone or accidentally create a duplicate.

Who it fits

Teams managing user access to a shared platform who track new members in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. Runs manually or on a schedule
  2. Reads names and emails from Google Sheets
  3. Compares the list against existing accounts
  4. Creates missing accounts and sends invite emails
What you get

Accounts ready without a single click

You get new team members' accounts created automatically and their invite emails sent as soon as their name is added.

What you get

New user accounts created automatically, with an invite email sent to each new person.

What you need

A Google account and administrative access to the platform you're inviting people into.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
