sometimes you have users who have no unique email id or ones who don't have a company email id but you'd still like to add them to your exotel dashboard there is a very simple workaround to this issue go to the 'co workers and groups' tab on the left panel click on 'invite co workers' on the top right section of the dashboard add your co worker or agent's name you can use your own gmail id to sign up for your agent as well and add a '+' sign and append it with something you'll recognise for example, if your email id is batman\@gmail com , you can sign up for your co worker or agent with batman+1\@gmail com when you do this, the system recognises this as a new email id but all the communication will still be sent to you (everything after the + will be ignored) this way, you can add as many co workers as you want with the same email id as in you can do a +1, +2, or even something like +marketing or +sales you will still need to give your agent's phone number as this is the number exotel will divert the calls to unable to add co worker (invalid csrf token alert) while trying to add a co worker from the exotel dashboard, you might’ve stumbled upon an error message stating this has been done as a product measure to increase our product security & to eliminate one click attacks or session riding while we understand that this could be an inconvenience to you and your team while having to increase coworkers, refreshing the page should resolve this alert adding back a deleted user to add the same user back, navigate to the co workers and groups section and click on "invite co workers " however, you won't be able to use the same email id for the agent, as the system will indicate that the email id is already in use for the same or a different account to resolve this issue, you can append "+1" to the original email id when adding the user again for example, if the email id was " test\@exotel com ," you can add them as " test+1\@exotel com " this will register as a new email id in the system, but you will still receive all emails to the original email id, " test\@exotel com " watch a short video
