Invitation from a client not showing

[#1]

A client sent me an invitation prior to me sending my proposal however the invitation itself didn't appear in my profile.

Hi Salvador, 

I checked your account and it looks like you were only invited to apply, and the contract has not been awarded yet. Once the client sends you an offer, and you have accepted the contract, this will show on your Work History as "Job in Progress." 

Seeing as you are new here, please read up on the freelancer resources for great tips and insights on how you can work successfully on the platform. For more information about working safely through Upwork, please read these tips for avoiding questionable jobs.

Hi Avery,

Thanks for the reply. That is actually my main concern because I was told by the client that she sent me an invitation to apply but I could not see that invitation on my end. She even sent me some screenshots but I really could not find any.

Hi Salvador,

When a client sends you a direct invitation you will receive notification about it, once you have accepted the invitation a message room will be created for both parties.
You can also find this under Proposals > Active candidacy as it is listed on your home page.

Actually the client sent me screenshots regarding the invitation to apply unfortunately I did not receive any notifications about it. I have checked everything, even sent her some screenshots too but still could not find any.

Hi Salvador, 

CAn you send me the screenshots via PM(click on my name) along with the name of the client, thank you.

I also have the same problem my  client sent me an invitation but I can't see it in my account.

My client sent screenshot of invintation and even sent me a link for the invitation, when I open the lik It says I am not authorized to access this page .

Maybe someone can help me with it too.

Btw I'm currently working on a job with the same client and he wants to send invite for anotherproject.

Thanks!

Hi Sharlyn,

I checked your account, and it looks like you have already accepted the offer from your client. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you.

I am actually having this same problem right now.

Hi Brandon,

I checked your account, and it looks like the notifications are showing the two invites you have. Could you please try to view it again using a different browser or clear your cache and cookies? You can also try clicking the invites from your notifications by clicking the bell icon. If it is still not showing up on your end, please let us know. Thanks.

Hi Joanne Marie,

I am also facing this same problem right now. The client send me an invitation but I can't see it in my account. I humbly request to you please solve this issue. 

Thanks!

Hi Saima, 

Once you receive an Invitation to Interview you can accept it in your Proposals-Invitations to Interviews or by clicking on the bell icon. 

Thank you,

[#13]

I'm having the same problem now.
Someone should please help.

[#14]

Hi Peace,

You should be able to see your invitation by going to Find Work > Proposals, under the Invitations to interview Section. Alternatively, you can also access it from the notification you received, you can see your notifications by clicking on the bell icon, to the left of your profile picture.

Could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with a different browser to see if the issue persists?

Thanks!

Hi I am Yusuf 

-my client sent an invitation for a work but didn't receive any notification both on my upwork app and my Gmail too.

-Anyway to help me see the notification of the job this my

first time on upwork 

[#16]

Hi Yusuf,

I checked your profile and I'm not seeing that a client sent you an invitation. Are you referring to an account different from the one you're posting from? As a gentle reminder, having multiple accounts is considered a serious violation of the Upwork TOS.

[#17]

Hey! i also have the same problem pls help me too!

[#18]

Hi Hasham,

Accepted invitations are not showing in message box since morning what is issue

[#22]

Hi Upwork Community Members, Few hours ago I received a Notification on my Mobile Phone that A client has been invited me on a job and when I clicked on it Upwork mobile app asked me to login I did the login but then I didn't get that job invitation anywhere in my profile, no notification, no job invite nothing about that so my question is when a client invited is there any possibility that they can remove that invitation and another thing is I didn't get email for this notification!

Can you help me to find out what is the issue here as I am not getting new invites from last few days. 

Looking forward to hearign from you soon.

Thank you 

[#23]

Hi Nafees,

Have you tried checking your notifications? Was the invite also not showing from this page? 

[#24]

Hi, Few hours ago a client sent me a job invite but it didn't show up on my account. I checked everywhere but just couldn't find it. Not in Invitation to Interview nor in any other section. Didn't receive any notification as well. Kindly guide me through a solution if possible. Thank you.

How do you know about the job invite? Did you receive an email? Is there a link to accept or decline the invite in the email?

Your profile does not rank very high in searches, so it is a little unusual that a client would randomly stumble across it and invite you?
