Custom email invites on PeopleXD Evo

Configure and send branded invitation emails to new Evo users instead of the default system template.

Written by James Pardy

You can customise the invitation emails sent to new users on PeopleXD Evo. This allows your organisation to control messaging, branding, and tone during onboarding, rather than using the standard Evo invite. Make sure the correct permissions are assigned to the admin profile.

Required permissions

The following web service permissions must be enabled:

  • WS_SYSTEM_MENU.PATCH_WORKSPACE_CONFIG_INVITE_CUSTOM

  • WS_SYSTEM_MENU.GET_WORKSPACE_CONFIG_INVITE_CUSTOM


Enable custom invites

To start using custom invitation emails:

  1. Go to Security > Evo Configuration > Evo Invites

  2. Turn on Enable custom invites


What happens next

Once enabled:

  • New users are automatically synced as active

  • Invitation emails are sent from your XD instance

  • Users receive your custom email instead of the default Evo template


Configure your custom invitation email

Set up the content and messaging of your invite.

  1. Go to Security and click Evo Configuration.

  2. Click Evo Invites.

  3. Click Actions and select Custom Email Invites.

  4. Enter an email subject (required).

  5. Enter the email body (required).


Personalise your email

You can include dynamic fields that automatically populate user details:

  • <<PERSONNEL_NO>> โ€” personnel number

  • <<FORENAME>> โ€” first name

  • <<SURNAME>> โ€” last name

๐Ÿค“Tip: Use these fields to create a more personalised and engaging onboarding experience.

โš ๏ธImportant: The Evo invite link is automatically added to the end of your email bodyโ€”you donโ€™t need to include it manually.


Send invitation emails

Invitations can be triggered in two ways.

Manual bulk send

  2. Select Bulk Send Invites


Automatic overnight job
