Hey team!

The community Slack linked to from the docs only allows user registrations for emails under the domains dius.com.au, smartbear.com and ae.com:

Is this a mistake or have you restricted it for a reason? Is there another way to connect with the community?

Hey @jonatanblue

that is really bizarre! I wouldn't have expected that restriction, and I'm not even sure what ae.com is (American Eagle Apparel 😕 )

[YOU54F]

So this is bizarre!

This is how its setup

I can see the restriction on emails

If I relax the restriction

[YOU54F]

Dear Slack team - Please stop messing about with stuff that wasn't broken.

Looks like they've changed the way it works.

Does this work? Unfortunately it expires in 30 days. We might need to look at the slackin invite again or something similar.

perpetual invite link

https://join.slack.com/t/pact-foundation/shared_invite/zt-23bi0zdz7-2sIA1omqUhz69MuD5yeZjw

have asked to get the redirect updated for slack.pact.io

Thanks for raising my friend, and helping test it out

[YOU54F]

Reopening until we have a confirmed permanent solution in place, and can ensure all the relevant places are updated.

There may be further restrictions on the quantity of users each link can support despite its validity period

[jonatanblue]

Good call. The Slack docs say this:

Each invitation link can be used by up to 400 people.

So maybe the link above will only be valid for another 390 something users.

Unfortunately the link has expired again. We're going to need to find a longer term solution for this.

so my last invite notification in slack stopped on the 16th, would be nice to sort a perma solution. thanks for updating Matt
