Hi Vivek,

If you are running Clearspace Community 2.5.x you can invite people to join a specific Community from your Gmail/LinkedIn contacts. In order to do this you just need to navigate to the Community and then click on "Invite Friends To Join" in the Action menu on the right hand side of the screen.

With Clearspace internal this functionality is disabled by default, however you can enable it with a simple system property:

invitations.system.enabled = true

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

Sorry for my abstractness of the question.

Is there any way to invite contacts from my Gmail/LinkedIn profile to join a specific Community, something that exists for Groups. Is their any way I could accomplish this in CS 2.5?

Thanks

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

Would you please elaborate on what you mean by importing contacts from Gmail/LinkedIn? Do you mean something like providing the ability to invite everyone in your gmail contact list to join your Clearspace instance? Or something else? If you could elaborate on what you are trying to do here I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi,

Are there any plans for importing the contacts from Gmail/LinkedIn into Clearspace in the near future?

Thanks
