# Signing up a user with the Authentik workflow

Copy and send the link from the `community-signup-invitation` invitation under the invitations page.
This will allow the user to create an account and go through email verification. From there, they can sign in to write freely.

## Email Template

The community signup email uses a professionally designed welcome template located at:

The email template includes:
- Keyboard Vagabond branding with horizontal logo
- Welcome message for digital nomads and remote workers
