Invites
Tell a friend about tofa
Send someone an invite email so they can create their own tofa account.
Anyone can create a free account at app.tofa.tv/register. If you'd like to point a friend there, you can send them an invite email from your account.
This is different from sharing your server. Sharing gives someone in your household access to your libraries. An invite only helps them get their own account, without sharing your library or account details.
Send an invite#
- Open app.tofa.tv and go to Account.
- Find Invite Friends. It shows how many invites you have left.
- Enter their email address and choose Send invite.
We email them a link to create their account. If new signups are paused for a while, they keep their place and we email them as soon as they can finish.
Use the address they'll sign up with. Invites are matched on the exact
email address, so [email protected] won't let them register as
[email protected].
If the email doesn't arrive#
Your invites are listed under the form. Next to anyone who hasn't signed up yet is Send again, which does not spend a second invite. It's limited to once a day per person, so ask them to check their spam folder before you try again.
Spend them on people you know#
An invite is spent the moment you send it, and it stays spent even after your friend joins. Before you send:
- Check the address before you send. A typo costs you an invite.
- We won't tell you whether an address already has a tofa account. Every address you haven't invited before gets the same answer, because otherwise anyone with an account could type in addresses one after another and find out who uses tofa. Your friend's account is nobody else's business, and neither is yours.
If you're out of invites, your friend can sign up directly.
Your list marks an invite Joined once that person signs up, so you'll know it landed.
Once they're in#
They create their own account. The invitation does not share your libraries or give either of you access to the other's account. They can run their own server or accept a separate server invitation.
