I’m trying to share parenting and it’s telling me “Invitation could not be sent”

  1. To invite another person to become a Shared Parent, they need to have signed up for their own Family Zone Insights or Premium account.
     
    Ask the other Parent for the email address they signed up with and use this email. Our system verifies their account exists before the Primary Parent can send the invitation.
