When a host contractor company wants to work with you through WorkForce, you will receive an invitation through email. Accepting this invitation is important so that your host company can assign work orders to you that were generated on the ServiceChannel Service Automation platform. You, in turn, can then assign work orders to your technicians or sub-contractors.
How to Accept a WorkForce Sub-Contractor invitation:
- In your company’s email, look for an email from contractortools@servicechannel.com with the subject line Subcontractor Invitation.
- Click Accept. The web browser will navigate to workforce.servicechannel.com, and a confirmation banner appears indicating the accepted invitation.
- Click Sign Up. The Sign Up page appears.
- Enter your Company Name, Country, and State/Province (if applicable), and then click Next.
