This page is for volunteers who participate using a personal email address. You usually do not need a paid Microsoft license.

The 2 Emails You Should Expect

1) Organization invitation email (required)

The subject is usually similar to Tip:"Anna, SHHA invited you to collaborate with SHHA".

The email usually includes:

    A warning message telling you to proceed only if you trust the sender and organization Sender: CheckAnna, SHHA (anna.levchuk@sandiahomeowners.org) Organization: SHHA Domain: sandiahomeowners.org

    This is the important one. Click Accept invitation to activate your Spamaccess.

    2) JunkGroup/team folderinvitation email (expected but confusing)

    You may also get an email with a subject like "You have been added to a team in Microsoft Teams".

    This is a default Microsoft message and cannot be customized by SHHA.

    For external volunteers, we do not recommend using Teams for SHHA work. Instead, follow the SharePoint links on the Quick Reference page for the Microsoftgroups invitation.you Seeare FAQpart — Can't access files for detailed troubleshooting.

    Most Common Mistakes
