Sync and invite flow

Connect HQ Cloud/Pro sync, invite a teammate, and verify both sides see the same company before work begins.

01Make company files available through the correct HQ Cloud/Pro boundary.
02Invite teammates without exposing secrets, private URLs, or unrelated company context.

The concept

Shared state

Sync creates the shared company state; invites grant the right people access to that state.

Step 01Cloud bridge

Sync company

Sync turns the admin's local company into shared state the team can pull, so one person's useful context can lift the whole team.

Run the sync flow from the active company workspace and resolve any conflicts before invites.

HQ reports the company sync as complete with no conflict prompts.
/hq-sync
Step 02Invite

Send invite

Invites are company-scoped access grants, not generic invitations into your whole HQ.

Create the invite from the active company context, send only the generated invite link, and avoid pasting secrets or private context into chat.

The pending member appears under the company and no other company is referenced.

Step 03Handshake

Verify acceptance

Activation is mutual: the admin sees a member, and the teammate sees the same company after sync and /startwork.

Ask the invited person to accept, sync, run /startwork, and confirm the company context before they run work commands.

Both sides see the same company name and the invited person can run /startwork.
/hq-sync/startwork
Commands

Keep the chapter executable.

Sync command
$ /hq-sync

Runs the company sync flow so the team works from the same shared HQ context.

Invite command
$ /invite teammate@example.com

Starts the invite flow from the active company boundary.

References

What to keep in mind.

Invite safety

Invites are sent only after the active company name and sync state are verified.

Shared-state proof

Admin and teammate can both name the same company after the teammate accepts and syncs.
