Invitation Email Cadence
When new users are invited to join Spekit, they will receive a series of email invitations to encourage them to create an account. These invitations are sent out on a specific cadence to ensure that they are seen and acted upon.
Emails are sent on a 1-2-4-7-12-25-day cadence until the user accepts the invite.
Each email invitation link will expire once the subsequent email is sent. This means that the user will need to click on the new link in order to accept the invitation.
