Team invitations

Team invitations connect another person or one of your own computers to Nock’s collaboration Team. Setup lives in Settings → Team; the compact Team conversation view has a Team settings shortcut.

Invite a person

1. Open Settings → Team.
2. If this computer has no Team yet, enter the name you want teammates to see.
3. Choose Invite someone. Nock starts a Team if needed.
4. Choose Copy invitation and send it through a channel you trust.
5. Keep Nock open with Team on until the person joins. The invitation works once and expires after 24 hours.

They open Settings → Team, paste it into Join with an invitation, enter their name, and choose Join. They can paste the four-word invitation, the complete code, or an invitation link containing it. Joining turns Team on.

After joining, they appear under People. You can start a direct conversation in Team Inbox; neither person needs to share a coding chat first.

Link your own computer

On your connected computer, choose For my other computer. On your other Mac or PC:

1. Open Settings → Team.
2. Paste the invitation into Join with an invitation.
3. Enter the same name used on the first computer and choose Join.

Keep Nock open on the first computer until joining finishes. Your linked devices appear under Your other computers, rather than as another person. Signing into the same account alone does not link them.

When sending later, check the computer context beside the recipient. A contact nickname in Details helps you recognize a destination without changing its exact address.

If joining does not finish

Joining can take up to a minute while Nock reaches the computer that made the invitation. Read the message under the form before retrying.

• Expired or already used: ask the inviter to create a new invitation.
• Computer unreachable: check that Nock is open there with Team on, then try again.
• Invitation cut off: copy and paste the complete invitation again.
• Name already taken: choose another name for another person. For your own computer, use an invitation made with For my other computer and the original name.
• Already on another Team with people: Nock will not silently replace that membership. Check which Team this computer should use before proceeding.

A computer that started a Team nobody else joined can still use Join with an invitation; you do not need to reset Nock first.

Recognize the other kinds of invitation

A paid Nock Team seat invitation opens an account page where you accept a place on a multi-seat billing plan. Pasting that link into Join with an invitation opens its web page; it does not create a collaboration connection. See Plans and trials.

Invite friends is Nock’s referral invitation, not a Team connection. Nock Social is a separate community website with its own login. For Team messaging, use Invite someone or For my other computer in Settings.
