Joining the right organization
Sunny Workplace® matches you to your organization automatically when you first sign in. It uses one of four signals: an invite link, a record your org admin created for you, your company’s email domain, or your company’s HR system. You never pick your organization from a list, and each signal points to exactly one organization, so signing in with your work account is normally all it takes.
Signing in itself happens through your Google or Microsoft work account. Details: “Signing in with Google or Microsoft.”
How Sunny matches you(1) An invite link
Invite links point to a specific team or organization. Open one, sign in, and you join that exact team: no approval step, no role question.
- A manager’s invite link adds you to that manager’s team.
- A manager invite sent by an org admin adds you as a manager.
- In a self-serve organization, a manager’s invite link is the only way for an employee to join.
- Details: “Enterprise and self-serve organizations.”
(2) A record your org admin created
In enterprise organizations, an org admin can add people before they sign up. When you sign in, Sunny matches your work email to that record and places you in the organization. This happens in the background; there is no confirmation screen.
(3) Your company’s email domain
Enterprise organizations register their company email domains with Sunny. Sign in with a work email on a registered domain and Sunny places you in your company’s organization. Personal email providers such as gmail.com are never registered, so always sign in with your work email.
A domain match puts you in the right organization, but not on a team. If Sunny doesn’t already know your role, it asks whether you manage a team. Details: “Choosing your role at signup.”
(4) Your company’s HR system
If your organization connected its HR system to Sunny, your identity, role, and team all come from the HR directory. You sign in and are placed on your team automatically. There is no role question and no approval step.
If you’re an employee and no one added youThis applies when your email domain matches an enterprise organization but you have no invite link, no admin record, and no HR system record.
- Sign in with your work email and choose “I’m a team member”.
- Enter your manager’s work email. It must match someone at your organization.
- Your manager gets an approval request by email and in the web app.
- While you wait, complete the Social Battery assessment and view your results. A “Pending approval” banner stays on your home page, and check-ins and other features stay locked. Details: “What is the Social Battery® assessment?”
- When your manager approves the request, you get a confirmation email, the banner disappears, and you join their team with full access.
- Sunny starts new-organization setup instead of joining you to your company. This means your email domain isn’t registered and you have no invite link or admin record. Stop and ask your manager or org admin for an invite link.
- You expected to be matched and weren’t, or you’re stuck partway. See “Problems joining your team or organization”.
