Click it, and you are in — Chirp handles the rest. There are two kinds of invitations, each with its own link and expiration window. ## Membership Invitations A membership invitation adds you as a new member of someone's home, with the permissions they chose for you. ### How to Accept 1. Open the email from Chirp. It contains a direct link to accept the invitation. 2. Click the link. You must be logged in to your Chirp account — if you are not, Chirp will prompt you to sign in first. 3. On success, the invitation token is removed from the URL and you are now a member of the home. The permissions assigned by the inviter take effect immediately. ### Expiration Membership invitations are valid for **7 days**. If the link has expired or has already been used or revoked, Chirp shows an error. The person who invited you will need to send a new invitation. ## Ownership Transfer Invitations An ownership transfer invitation makes you the new owner of an existing home. Only the current owner can send this type of invitation. ### How to Accept 1. Open the email from Chirp. The link contains an ownership transfer token. 2. Click the link. You must be logged in to your Chirp account. 3. On success, you become the new owner. ### Expiration Ownership transfer invitations are valid for **24 hours** — a shorter window because of the sensitivity of the change. ### What Changes After You Accept * **You** get automatic access across the entire home. The Activity Log (under **Reports** > **Audit Trail**) is view-only — this applies to every user, including the owner. * **The previous owner** keeps full editing access to every section of Chirp — Dashboards, Devices, Rules, Connectors, Subscription, member management, and everything else. The only change is that the Activity Log becomes view-only for them, and the **Organization settings** menu item moves to you. * The previous owner remains a member of the home and is not removed. ## Activity Log Membership acceptance is recorded in the Activity Log (under **Reports** > **Audit Trail**), capturing who accepted and when. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.chirpwireless.io/account/accepting-invitations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
