Can't accept an invite to join QB

When I click on the link to accept an invitation to join a new company in QB, it goes through the login process, I enter my password and the OTP code via SMS, but I get the following error message:

 

"There’s an issue on our end. We’re on it.

There was an error during the invitation process. Please try again."

I have been trying for 24 hours and nothing changes? How can I resolve this?

Hello Rjwbailey, thanks for joining the Community page, can you try clearing your cache and cookies to all time, close the browser down, reload it and try again if that doesn’t resolve it get them to delete the invite fully and resend it to you  and try again.

Made no difference I'm afraid. I also tried a different browser, which gave the same result.

  2. Go to the Help (?) menu.
  3. Select the Search tab.

This might be the most braindead forum I've ever read. I have the same issue and simply want to view my paystubs for my new job. It is outstanding to me that somebody who gets paid could ever put the error message

"there’s an issue on our end. we’re on it. there was an error during the invitation process. please try again."

 

What a joke of a company.

I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Support Team.

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Choose the Help (?) icon.
  3. In QB Assistant, enter the topic you need help with. You can also enter questions.
  4. In Search, select Contact Us to connect with a live support agent.
  5. Choose a way to connect with us.

 

You can also visit this page to directly contact our support: QuickBooks Support.

 

In case your employer needs steps on how to resend or cancel your invitation, you can provide this article to your employer: Invite employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see payslips, P60s and more.

You start this with “sign into your quickbooks online company,” the thing I literally can’t do. Great advice! Thank you! Super helpful!
