What to know

Troubleshooting: confirm the existing identity

Search the authorized client list for the exact intended email and organization before assuming the invitation failed. A typo, alternate address or existing account can explain why the recipient cannot use the expected message. Do not create another client identity as the first troubleshooting step. Duplicate identities can fragment requests and access history, leaving the customer unsure which account contains their work and which invitation is current.

What to know

Use the documented recovery carefully

ManyRequests documents an invitation-resend path through the client menu’s Reset Password action. That wording can be surprising, so verify the current help article and the exact target before using it. A password-related action should not be treated as an invisible background fix for the wrong person. Tell the intended recipient what recovery message to expect, and do not request that they send you their password or access-bearing link.

What to know

Check access after the handoff

Once the client completes the supported recovery, confirm that they can see the correct organization and request. An email being sent is not proof that access works. Avoid using an administrator’s broad view as evidence of the client’s actual experience. Where appropriate, ask the client to confirm a non-sensitive visible detail, or use an approved test account for a rehearsal instead of impersonating an unrelated real customer.

What to know

Preserve the original work

Keep existing requests, comments and approvals attached to their original records. If two identities already exist, do not merge, delete or reassign them casually without understanding the supported consequences. Record the issue and use the provider’s documented process. The goal is restored access with continuity, not merely a fresh invitation. A successful recovery should leave the client able to continue the same work without re-entering briefs or reapproving completed decisions.
