Most people arrive at Zebrania through an invitation: someone entered your address and you received a link. This page covers what to do with that link. There are two kinds of invitation, and they differ in what they give you access to:
  • Guardian invitation — attaches you to one specific student, as their parent or guardian.
  • Teacher invitation — attaches you to a school, as a member of its team.
Accepting one works the same way whichever kind it is, and whoever sent it.
Looking to send an invitation rather than accept one? If you are a parent or guardian, see Inviting a guardian. If you work at the school, see Sending invitations.

You received an invitation — what next

Open the link from the message. You’ll see the invitation page, and what appears there depends on one thing: whether you already have a Zebrania account.

If you don’t have an account yet

You don’t need to create one in advance or hunt for a sign-up form. For a teacher invitation the app handles it for you. It doesn’t even ask for your address — it knows it from the invitation:
This invitation is addressed to (address). We will send that address a link that joins you to the school straight away.
Press Join the school, you’ll get the confirmation “We sent a link to (address). Open it to join the school”, then click the link in your inbox — and the account is created as part of signing in. One click covers registration and joining together. For a guardian invitation you choose: the page offers Create account alongside Sign in. Pick “Create account”; afterwards you return to the same invitation page to accept it.

If you already have an account

Sign in (see Getting started — sign-in is by link, no password). Once signed in, the invitation page shows an Accept invitation button, and that’s it. An invitation adds a permission to the account you already have. Don’t create a second account to accept one: one person, one account — including when you’re a parent at one school and a teacher at another.
An invitation is issued to one specific email address. If you sign in with a different account you’ll see: “This invitation is addressed to (address). Please sign in to the right account.” Sign out and back in with the invited address — or ask for a new invitation to the address you actually use.

How long you have to accept

Invitations — guardian and teacher alike — are valid for 7 days from sending. After that the link stops working and a new one is needed; ask the sender for it. If the sender resent the invitation, your inbox holds two messages. The newest one works — deleting the older one straight away saves confusion.

When an invitation doesn’t work

If no message reached your inbox at all, the causes are the same as for sign-in — spam, a typo, school mail filters. See Getting started.
