Share Link - 24 Hours
The Share Link feature allows you to invite dental professionals — whether or not they have a Smilecloud account — to collaborate on a case for a limited time (24 hours) as guests.
How Does It Work?
✅ Generate and Share the Invitation
When you invite a dental professional to a case:
- A Team-Up invitation and a unique guest link are created.
You can choose to:
- Send the invite via email, or
- Copy the link and share it via any messaging or social platform.
✅ Accessing the Case as an Invitee
When the invitee clicks on the shared link, they will land on a page offering two options, depending on their Smilecloud account status:
- If the invitee has a Smilecloud account: They can click “Login” to join the case using their existing account.
- Or, they may choose to join as a guest by following the instructions at the top of the page.
If the invitee does not have a Smilecloud account:
- They can create one by clicking “Create my own account” to join as a regular user.
- Or, they may choose to join as a guest, using the guest instructions provided.
✅ Verifying Guest Access
If the invitee chooses Guest Access: They must click “Send verification code.”
- A One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent to their email (valid for 5 minutes).
- After entering the OTP, they will be granted access to the case.
Once verified, the guest is redirected directly to the case they were invited to.
🎯What Can Guests Do?
Guests have access to most collaboration tools — with a few limitations:
🚫 Guests cannot:
- Invite other dentists to the case
- Remove case team members (except themselves)
- Delete documentation files or galleries
- Create or delete projects
- Modify patient-related information
- View or change subscription-related details
- Access any other cases they may have been invited to previously
🎯Guest Statuses in the Case Team List
Guests are listed in the Case Team section with one of the following statuses:
- Pending – Invitation sent but not yet accepted
Tip: Hover over the status to copy and resend the invite link.
- Active – The guest has accepted the invite and currently has access
Tip: Hover to see how much time remains from their 24-hour access period.
- Expired – The 24-hour guest access window has ended. The guest no longer has access to the case.
Tip: Generate a new link if you need the guest to join the case again.
🎯Summary
The Share Link feature is a fast, flexible way to collaborate with peers — even those outside the Smilecloud ecosystem. It’s designed to maintain security and privacy while allowing powerful short-term teamwork on a case.
