The workspace join link
Open Team Access. The join link section generates a link of the form:
https://www.msgorb.com/join/YOUR_JOIN_CODEYou can append a group so joiners land directly in it, and there is a per-group link on each group page under the share card:
https://www.msgorb.com/join/YOUR_ORG_ID/YOUR_GROUP_IDAnyone with the link sees a short form asking for their name and WhatsApp number. No sign-in is needed.
Approving joiners
The auto-accept switch on Team Access decides what happens next:
- On — the contact is added with status Active and can be messaged immediately.
- Off — the contact is added with status Pending and appears in the directory with an approve button. Approve them before they receive anything.
Someone who is already a contact
Anyone can type any number into a join link, so a number that is already one of your contacts is never edited from the form. Their name, group and status stay as they are, and the form only fills in details that were still empty. To change a contact's details, edit them on Team Access.
Opt-in proof
Every join records the timestamp, the joiner's IP address and the source of the join. Meta expects businesses to be able to show that recipients consented, and this is the record that supports that. Contacts you type in or import by CSV carry no such proof, so use the link where you can.
The join form tells people they will receive reminders, updates and occasional offers or announcements, and that they can reply STOP at any time. That wording covers both Utility and Marketing templates.
