Unable to add freelancer to agency team

I need to add a freelancer to my Content Solutions Consulting team. Following the instructions, I go to Members & Permissions > Invite New User. On the Invite Users dialog, I add the freelancer's email. An error message appears: "We were unable to send invitation to such users: .... User has active assignments or offers" I checked with the freelancer and no assignments or offers should prevent her from joining this team. Does anyone have suggestions to get around this error message?

Hi Shawn,

 

Thank you for following up. Yes, that contract should be ended before they can join your agency.

I have the exact problem. Please help ASAP!

 

Hi Richard,

 

Could you please check that the freelancer you're trying to add does not have any pending activity on their account? Proposals, contracts, funds, etc. You may also try adding them as a non-exclusive member.

Hey Bojan, 

 

I have the same issue and I am a freelancer. My cleint says they couln't add me to their agency becuase I have active assignments or offers, What should I do?


Sincerely, 

Yeabsra

Hi Yeabsra,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. You would have to end all active contracts and withdraw all active proposals. They may also add you as non-exclusive agency member so you don't have to do both.

Hi Bojan,

 

I am getting the same error while adding the freelancer to my agency. "

We were unable to send invitation to such users: **Edited for Community Guidelines** - User has active assignments or offers"

 

I have created a new agency while the freelancers are existing and has open projects which are going on so can i add them under the agency or not?

 

Regards,

Hello GoodPegg,

 

Thank you for your message. If you are inviting a freelancer to join your agency as an Exclusive agency member, they will need to close all active contracts before accepting the invite. You may want to invite them as a non-exclusive agency member if they wish to continue working on their contract.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi Arjay,

 

Sorry but this link is not opening, 

Thanks for letting us know, Kamaljeet. The link is now updated. This link was intended for GoodPegg's concern since a support member was getting in touch to assist. Do you need assistance with an issue? If so, can you share more information?

Hi there, yes we are still unable to add the freelancer under agency even when there is no active project for the freelancer. 

Invitation hasn't been sent

We were unable to send invitation to such users:

**Edited for Community Guidelines** - User has active job applications

Thanks for sharing this information, Kamaljeet. I had to remove the email address you shared on your post, but by looking at the profile, I can confirm that the freelancer has active and submitted proposals that must be withdrawn before you can send the invite. Please advise the freelancer to withdraw the proposals and try sending the invite again.

Hi there,

 

why my account is suspended?

Kamaljeet, I do not see any restrictions on your account. Can you please share more information about what you see? A screenshot of any error messages would really help.

Hi,

 

Could you do the same thing for me because I'm getting the same error.  An agency trying to send an invitation but they are getting an error saying that -üser has an active job application." - But I don't have an active application, I already canceled it because of this error. 

Hi Jerwin,

 

I checked your account and I see 1 Active Proposal and 2 Submitted Proposal on your Proposals page. Once you have withdrawn these proposals you can request the agency owner to send an invite again.

Thanks!
