Track invites

Grant learners controlled access to your tracks

This guide explains how to create track invites to grant learners access to one or more tracks.

Background

Track Invites allow you to share tracks via links or gated forms.

Invite types

There are two types of track invites: self-paced and live event. The Live Event invite type is suited for Instructors running technical workshops. The self-paced invite type is designed to be shared with learners, who will complete the tracks on their own time.

Invite restrictions

You can set the following restrictions to control access and consumption:

• Expire the learner's access to the track(s) after a specific time. Use this limit to set how long a track will be available to learners by specifying a duration by years/months/days/hours/minutes. Or set it to Forever for unlimited access.

• Expire the learner's access to the track(s) after a specific amount of plays. Use this limit to set how many times the track can be played. Or set it to 0 if you want unlimited plays.

• Set the track invite link itself to expire on a given date and time Use this limit to allow the track invite link to expire on a specific date and time.

• Set the track invite link itself to expire after the access limit is reached Use this limit to set how many times the track invite link can be accessed. Or set it to 0 if you want unlimited access.

• Specify who can access your track invite and how Use this to restrict access to people you specify, to anyone leaving their details, or to anyone with the link.

• Show (or hide) the sharing button Use this to make it easier for end users to share your invite with others. Note that toggling this button off does not prohibit end users from sharing the invite link with others.

Creating a track invite

It's only possible to create a track invite from the Web UI.

🌐 Web UI

1. From the Content page, select Share Content.

2. From the Manage track invites page, select Create.

3. Click the Sharing method. This is either a link or an embedded track with a form.

4. If you choose link, select if the invite is self-paced or for a live event.

5. Provide a Title and optionally fill in Public/Private Descriptions.

6. Click which tracks you want associated with the invite. Tracks are shown to learners in the order in which you add them to the invite.

7. Set content restrictions, indicating how long content will be available once an invite is accepted, and how many plays each learner can have.

8. Set Invite restrictions, indicating how long an invite will remain active, and how many learners can access it. You can also optionally enable easier sharing by exposing a Share button.

10. Click Save.

11. Click ••• on your newly created invite, followed by Copy invite link.

Gating access with a form

Invites with the Access setting of Anyone leaving details are gated with a form. This form is used to collect user information on invites.

Changes to the tracks and content restriction will not affect learners who have already claimed access to your track.

Invite statuses

On the Manage track invites page, you can see the status for each invite and filter on them. By default we filter out Expired invites. The table below explains the different statuses:

Status	Logic (when)	Definition (what)
Active	Self paced: all invites that have no expiry date (inviteTTL) set, or have not yet expired. Live Event: less than 24 hours left until the live event starts.	Invites in this state are allowing new users to acces the link as long as the (optional) invite claim limit has not been reached.
Upcoming	Self paced: not applicable. Live Event: more than 24 hours left until the live event starts.	Invite in this state are not yet allowing users to access the link.
Expired	Self paced: After the invite expiry date (inviteTTL) has passed. Live Event: After the live event end date has passed.	Invites in this state are not allowing any new users to access the link. Note: users who have previously accessed this link will remain access. Delete the Track Invite if you want to revoke access.
