User Stories / Acceptance Criteria

• User story: I am a user on Common, and I have my own community called Community 1. After I have created the community, there is a "Get referral link" button on the community side bar. If I click this it opens up the referral modal, where I can see my referral link and send it to my friends or audience.

  • If i hit the tweet button, this opens twitter within the browser with the phrase:
  • “Hey, check out my community on Common! (referral embed)”
  • This is true of discord, telegram, warpcast, or messages as well

• If I invite users directly, then the referrer is provided the link directly which they can place into any other application like discord, telegram, or another chat service.

  • If Discord, Messages, Twitter, or Telegram, embed would be key to show both the community as well as common branding.

• As a user who was just referred directly to a Common community, when I click the link I end up on the community directly. The create account modal opens and I am put into the user onboarding flow. After I Join, I am redirected to the community that I was originally referred to.

What happens if someone is referred to a community but they are already a member of common?

[masvelio]

1. "Get referral link" item in user dropdown menu should be visible only in scoped (community) page? Can we invite to the Common app in general or it is always invitation to the specific community?
2. Should referral auto join community after successful account creation?
3. Harris question: What happens if someone is referred to a community but they are already a member of common?

Just to add more context to the questions here

1. "Get referral link" item in user dropdown menu should be visible only in scoped (community) page? Can we invite to the Common app in general or it is always invitation to the specific community?

• have ctas in both general and community pages. Users should be able to generally be invited to the site, we should save the referrer of the user as well which is done by #9832

2. Should referral auto join community after successful account creation?

• yes (confirming @sssssabinaaa)

3. Harris question: What happens if someone is referred to a community but they are already a member of common?

• if a user is already a member of the community, they should be automatically joined to the community upon receiving the link (confirming @sssssabinaaa)
