Respond to a Mentor Invitation

How to accept or decline an invitation to mentor an LFX Mentorship program.

Last updated

A Program Admin can invite you to mentor their program. The invitation arrives by email and is answered on its own page in LFX Self Serve.

Before you begin

  • Use the link in the invitation email. It carries a token that identifies the invitation.
  • If you do not have a mentor profile yet, you are asked to create one first.

Steps

  1. Open the invitation email and select its link. It opens your mentor invitations page, already showing that invitation.
  2. Sign in at app.lfx.dev if you are not already signed in.
  3. Review the program named on the page.
  4. Select Accept or Decline.

The page only records your answer when you select one of those buttons, so a mail scanner that follows the link cannot answer on your behalf.

After completing

Accepting puts the program on your My Programs tab, with its mentees, applicants and tasks. Declining leaves the program unchanged and tells the Program Admin.
