How about keeping track of the e-mail invites internally and as soon as an "invited e-mail" signs up, connect them with the users who ever sent an invite to that e-mail address? This way you don't need an access code (which can be very annoying, especially with mobile apps) or special links at all.
- jeffasinger 13y agoI guess the problem is that if they enter their email address, they want to verify that it's actually the owner of the email, not some random person. So they need to eventually send the code. They may want to give the user a choice of clicking a link in the email once the app is installed that enters the code for them.
- comatose_kid 13y agoAgreed - the only concern was that the user would sign up with a different email address than the one used to invite them with - in which case we wouldn't be able to link them together.
- melvinmt 13y agoWell, how often do people sign up with a different e-mail address (especially the target group of parents and seniors)? You should measure this. Only solve it when it becomes a real problem. I used to think like this as well, but you're basically falling in the trap of sacrificing usability for 95% while you solve the problem for the minority of 5%. Let's say your conversion rates drop by 25% because you have this hurdle. In an attempt to save the 5%, you're now at a net loss of 20%.
