Invite drivers and engineers
Drivers and engineers join your team through an invite link. You generate one URL per team and share it however you want — Discord, text, email. Someone who hasn't joined yet can still go in your plans: add them by name (below).
Generate the invite link
From your team detail page, click + Invite member (Owner or Admin only).
A modal pops open and auto-mints an invite link the first time you open it. The URL looks like:
https://stintiq.app/teams/join/abc123...
Click Copy to grab it. Then paste it wherever you want — your team's Discord channel, a DM, etc.
Share the link
Anyone who clicks the link and signs in with Discord can join. They land on the team's invite preview page, see the team name and member count, click Join team, and they're in.
The link doesn't expire. The same URL works for all teammates — one link per team.
Rotate or revoke
If the wrong person gets the link, or you want a fresh URL:
- Rotate mints a new token. The old URL stops working immediately.
- Disconnect invalidates the link without minting a new one. Re-open the modal later to mint a fresh URL.
After they join
New teammates appear in your roster with the Driver badge. From there you can:
- Promote a Driver to Admin or Owner — Click the role badge on their roster row.
- Set or override their color — Pick from the 14-color palette so the stint builder shows them with a distinct accent.
- Set their skill rating — Optional; helps you see at a glance who the experienced wheels are.
Drivers can also set their own color and skill rating from the team page.
Remove a member
Click Remove from team on a roster row to take someone off the team. They lose access to plans + stints + availability immediately. The last owner on a team can't be removed — promote another owner first if you're handing off the team.
Their seats don't disappear. If they hold seats in races that haven't finished (as driver, backup or engineer, on any strategy), the dialog lists them first ("Alex holds 6 seats in races that haven't finished"). When you confirm, those seats go to a placeholder with their name, tagged Left the team, so no stint is left without a driver. The placeholder can't get Discord reminders, and the builder and plan page say so until you give its seats to someone else. Then remove the placeholder, or, if they come back, use This is… to hand every seat back to them. Races that have already finished keep showing them.
The same happens when a driver clicks Leave team themselves, and every Owner and Admin who linked Discord gets a DM saying who left and which races need a driver. Someone who has left never gets reminders for this team's races.
Add a driver by name
Planning before everyone has joined, or racing with a guest who doesn't use Discord? Click + Add driver by name next to + Invite member (Owner or Admin only), type a name, and they join the roster with a Placeholder tag.
You can put a placeholder in any stint (driver, backup or engineer), and they count in workload and fair share checks like anyone else. A placeholder can't sign in, fill in availability or get Discord reminders, so the builder and plan page mark their seats 🔕 (see Build a race plan).
On a placeholder's roster row:
- Rename fixes the name.
- This is… is for when the real person joins. Pick them from your members, and StintIQ shows every seat that will move ("Alex → Sam: 9 seats in 3 plans"), on every plan and alternate strategy, finished races included. If that person already holds the backup or engineer seat in a stint the placeholder drives, that seat is cleared, and the preview lists it. Click Merge and the seats move; the placeholder disappears.
- Remove from roster takes the placeholder off the team. You can't remove one that still has seats in a race that hasn't ended: merge it into the real person, or give those seats to someone else first. Races that have already finished keep showing the name.
