Invite codes

Kepeink is invite-only for now. An invite code is a short string that lets a new person sign up. Some codes do more than admit you — a code can also grant free credit or unlock a feature on your account. This page explains what codes are, how to redeem one, and the limits a code can carry.

What an invite code is

An invite code is a single-use string that a current Kepeink user (or the team) hands to someone they want to bring in. While signups are invite-only, presenting a valid code is what lets a brand-new email create an account.

A code can carry more than the right to sign up:

• Sign-up access — admits a new email during invite-only signup.
• Free credit — adds usage credit to your workspace when redeemed.
• A feature unlock — turns on an add-on feature for your workspace.

A single code can combine these — for example, one that admits you and adds some starter credit in the same step.

Redeem a code when you sign up

The invite code field is not on the main sign-in form. You only see it if the email you enter is not already allowed in.

1. Open the sign-in page and enter your email.
2. If your email is not on the list yet, a panel appears asking for an invite code. Paste your code there.
3. Continue. Your account is created and any credit or feature the code carries is applied right away.

If someone sent you an invite link, opening it pre-fills the code for you, so you just enter your email and continue, no pasting needed.

Redeem a credit or feature code from inside the app

Already have an account and someone gave you a code for credit or a feature? You do not need to sign up again. Redeem it from the dashboard:

1. Go to Billing.
2. Choose Redeem a code.
3. Paste the code and confirm.

The credit or feature applies to your current workspace. Redeeming the same code into the same workspace twice is safe — it never double-applies.

Limits a code can carry

Codes can be issued with limits. Depending on how a code was made, it may be:

• Single-use or multi-use — most invites are single-use, so once someone signs up with it, it is spent. Some codes allow a set number of uses.
• Locked to one email — a code can be bound to a specific address, so only that person can redeem it.
• Time-limited — a code can have an expiry date, after which it stops working.

What "this code isn't valid" means

If redeeming fails, the code is one of these:

• Wrong — a typo, or a code that never existed.
• Expired — past its expiry date.
• Already used — a single-use code that someone already redeemed.
• For a different email — bound to an address that is not the one you entered.

FAQ

I have a code but the field isn't showing. The code field only appears once Kepeink sees an email that is not allowed in yet. Enter your email on the sign-in page first, and the invite-code panel will appear.

My code says it's for a different email. That code is locked to a specific address. Sign in with the exact email it was issued for, or ask whoever sent it to issue one for the address you want to use.

Can I reuse a code? Single-use invites cannot be reused — once someone signs up with one, it is spent. If you need to bring in more than one person, get a fresh code for each.

My code expired. Codes can have an expiry date. Ask whoever sent it for a new one.

Do I need a code if I already have an account? No. Existing users always sign in normally. You only need a code to unlock credit or a feature, and you redeem that from Billing → Redeem a code.

Invite someone yourself

Already have an account and want to bring someone in? You can generate your own single-use invites from the dashboard. See How to invite people for the step-by-step.
