Members can't join a group or topic

When a member can’t join a discussion, it’s most likely because of one of the following errors:

  • "We can't find this Group or Topic" error: The group or topic may be hidden. For members to join the discussion, leads must change the group or topic status to “Active.”
  • "Email or email domain _____ is not allowed to join" error: The group or topic has a setting turned on that restricts who and how members can join.
  • "Brand New Group" error: The group doesn't have any members or topics yet. For members to join the discussion, leads must add members or topics to the group.
  • Member gets "isn't eligible for an account" error: If a member gets this error, make sure they try to open Flip at my.flip.com. This happens when they're only eligible for a member account and try to sign in through a URL meant for leads instead of joining a group as a member.
