Groups in TimelyBills can be formed with your family or friends.
How it works :
- Someone need to start, i:e someone need to first start inviting others to make a new group and this user becomes the group owner (who invites others to join the group).
- A user who is already part of some group can not create new group until he/she leaves the existing group.
- A group owner can invite any numbers of user to be part of family/group budgeting (currently there is no limit but in future it may be)
- As soon as group owner invites others, invitee gets the email notification.
- Invitee user needs to either accept or reject the invitation.
- If invitee user accept the invitation, he/she is proposed with 2 choices
- If its email is already registered then he/she can join this group with its existing transaction (carrying its all transactions like income, expense, bills, transfers ) or without existing transactions (leaving behind the existing transaction ).
- Imp : Budgets do not migrate from personal account to family account. A new user in the group will only see budget from group owner.
- If its email is not registered then he/she is asked to join/register by its email id.
- If its email is already registered then he/she can join this group with its existing transaction (carrying its all transactions like income, expense, bills, transfers ) or without existing transactions (leaving behind the existing transaction ).
- Once invitee get the success message after accepting the invitation, he/she need to logout from the app and login again to be part of group.
- On login, invitee should be able to see all of group user's transactions (Income, Expense, Bills and transfer) including the group owner, automatically.
- Account information is not automatically shared to one another in the group, it needs to be shared separately. Please follow this link to know more about it https://support.timelybills.app/en/support/solutions/articles/84000380016-how-does-a-family-member-share-their-accounts
