Member Guide
Join an agency, switch between personal and team mode, and understand what members can do.
Join an agency and work with teammates in a shared workspace context. This guide covers how to accept agency invitations, switch between Personal and agency modes, and work with the shared controls you can access as a member.
What It Does
- Lets members use agency context for shared workflows
- Shows when your active workspace is Personal or an agency
- Lets you use Fansly accounts that owners/admins have already activated for the agency
- Lets members leave an agency when the option is available for their role
Requirements
- FBuddy account (sign in with the email that received the invitation)
- Active invitation from a team owner or admin
- No Pro subscription is required to join or use an agency as a member
Where to Find It
- Dashboard: select Agencies in the sidebar
- Open your agency card to open the Agency Overview page
- Active badge: the selected agency card shows Active for your current context
- If no agency card shows Active, you are in Personal mode
Accept an Invitation
- Open the invitation email and select the link.
- Sign in with the invited email if prompted.
- If you open the link while signed in with a different FBuddy account, you will be asked to sign in again with the invited account.
- The invitation is accepted and the agency is added to your Agencies list.
- Open the agency from Dashboard > Agencies and select Set Active to switch to that context.
- You can return anytime from Dashboard > Agencies.
- Invitation links expire automatically. If the link is expired or already used, ask the owner or admin to send a new invitation.
Switch Between Personal and Agency
When you work in FBuddy, you're either in Personal mode or using an Active agency.
- Go to Dashboard > Agencies.
- Select your agency.
- If the context is not active, choose Set Active to switch into the agency.
- If the agency is active, choose Use Personal to switch back to your personal mode.
- In both cases the active context card shows an Active badge.
- You can also switch context from the dashboard sidebar context selector (Personal and joined agencies).
Tip: The app always uses your currently active context.
Using Fansly Accounts With Your Agency
- Agency Fansly Accounts is visible to owners and admins for account management.
- Members can use accounts that are already activated for the agency.
- If you try to use a non-activated account, the action is blocked and you are told to ask the owner or admin to activate it.
- You can still continue in Personal mode after switching away from the agency context.
Messaging Restrictions (If Enabled by Your Org)
Some teams set a list of restricted words that cannot be used in outgoing messages while the agency is active.
- If you try to send a message with restricted words, FBuddy blocks the send and shows an error listing the blocked terms.
- Edit the message to remove the listed words and send again.
- Restrictions apply only when your agency is active; switching to Personal disables the agency word list.
Leave an Agency
- Go to Dashboard > Agencies and select the agency.
- Choose Leave Agency (visible for members). You'll be removed from the member list and the agency disappears from your dashboard.
- Owners and admins do not get Leave Agency.
- If you don't see Leave Agency, ask an owner to remove you.
Roles and Permissions
- Owner: Full control, including inviting/removing members, editing agency settings, activating/deactivating accounts, and deleting the agency.
- Admin: Invite/cancel invites, edit agency settings, activate/deactivate accounts, view member details, and remove members (except the owner). Admins cannot delete the agency.
- Member: Use the agency and leave if the option is available. Member details may be limited, and email addresses may not be visible in the Members list.
Troubleshooting
- Invitation link doesn't work: Links expire automatically or may already be used. Ask your admin to resend a new invite and sign in with the invited account before opening the link.
- Agency not showing up: Refresh the Agencies page or sign out and back in with the invited email.
- Can't activate an account: Only admins/owners can activate. Ask a team admin to activate the account or free a slot if the agency is at its limit.
- Messages are blocked: Remove the listed restricted words or switch back to Personal if appropriate.
