When to use it
Use it when you know an FS at another council who's still fighting dues collection by hand and would benefit from DuesSync. A note from a fellow Brother lands far better than a cold sales email, so the pitch comes from you in your own words. It's the warmest way to spread a tool that's helping your own council.
Step by step
- From the Dashboard, find the Invite a Brother Council pill in the top-right of the page header and click it. (On narrow screens it shows as just "Invite.")
- In the modal, confirm you're sending as yourself from your council — the other FS will be able to reply to you directly.
- Enter their FS email (required). Optionally add their name and council number to personalize the note.
- Add a short personal note in your own words — this is optional but strongly recommended (e.g. "The dues notices alone have been a game-changer for us this year").
- Click Send invite. The email opens with your name and council, includes your note, and ends with a link to a 2-minute tour of the sample council. You'll see a "Sent" confirmation, with the option to Send another.
Tips & gotchas
- The note comes from you — the other FS can reply straight to your inbox. DuesSync follows up lightly; there are no pushy automated chases.
- There are limits to keep it personal: up to 3 invites per day per user, and up to 10 per council per 7 days. You'll see a clear message if you hit either.
- If the email belongs to a council already using DuesSync, or one your council already invited recently, the modal tells you instead of sending a duplicate.
- The recipient gets a tour of the sample council — they don't have to sign up or create an account to look around.
- The pill appears only for the Financial Secretary, and not while a super-admin is impersonating a council.
