# Join an existing workspace

### If you received a workspace invitation email

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click the **invitation link** in the email you have received
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Sign in to your account (if you’re not already signed in), or [create a user account](https://help.hippoly.com/getting-started/pages/Kkbi0tMcjdxipkkOYi5r#id-1.-create-your-user-account) if you don’t have one yet.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When you’re signed in, you will be redirected to a page listing your workspace invitations. Click the `Accept` button to join the workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
**If you don’t get redirected to the invitations page or don’t see the invitation**, it is usually because the invitation email was sent to an address that isn’t linked to your Hippoly user account. Check which email address the invitation was sent to and [add that address to your user account](/administration/user-account-settings/email-addresses.md#add-a-new-email-address).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
When you have accepted the invitation, you will be redirected to the workspace and are ready to start collaborating with your colleagues.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### I haven’t received an invitation email, but I want to join a workspace I know exists

Unfortunately, you can’t join an existing workspace without an invitation link. You’ll need to ask an administrator of that workspace to invite you.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/getting-started/join-an-existing-workspace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
