This automatically sends a text message to the worker's mobile phone with instructions on how to activate their OpenSimSim account and connect to the company.
Note: For workers that do not have a smartphone, they will not be able to use the OpenSimSim Mobile App. However, the worker can be sent an invitation via Email.
Click on the Email icon in the "Send invite to" field
Enter Email Address
Click the Save button when done.
This will allow the worker to access their OpenSimSim account from a computer web browser (responsive desktop).
How The Worker Is Invited - SMS or Email
There are 3 possible combinations of Mobile Number and/or Email Address when creating your worker, prior to the invitation being sent out. This is typically dependent on what contact information you have for your workers.
#1 Mobile Number Only
An SMS invitation is sent to the Mobile Number of the Employee (NO EMAIL SENT)
#2 Mobile Number & Email Address
An SMS invitation is sent to the Mobile Number of the Employee (NO EMAIL SENT)
#3 Email Address Only
An Email invitation is sent to the Email Address of the Employee (NO SMS SENT)
#1 or #2 are preferred because this means the worker will activate their account via the OpenSimSim Mobile App that will be installed on their smartphone as part of the account activation process. This is the method for the vast majority of employees.
