# Inviting Members

Inviting members to your DAO on Upstream is a crucial and exciting step after the DAO is created. We have simplified the process to make it easy for you. 

### How do I invite members?

1. Access the DAO Dashboard: Log in to your Upstream account and navigate to the DAO dashboard.
2. Copy the Invitation Link: On the top left corner, you'll see an "Invite" button. Upon clicking the "Invite" button, you will be provided with a unique invitation link for your DAO. The link is in the form of "<mark style="color:red;">**dao-name**</mark>.upstreamapp.com". Copy this link to your clipboard.<br>

4. Prospective Member's Action: When a prospective member receives the invitation link, they can click on it to access the DAO's landing page on Upstream.
5. Joining the DAO: On the landing page, the prospective member will have the option to join the DAO or request membership to the DAO if certain DAO settings are enabled (as explained in the [next section](/dao-members/joining-a-dao.md)).&#x20;
6. Approval Process: Depending on the DAO settings, the membership request may trigger a new proposal within the DAO. Existing DAO members will be required to vote on the proposal, and the DAO signator(s) will need to sign and execute the proposal to add the new member to the DAO.
