<AdminOnly />You can configure a default set of channels that users will be subscribed to when they join your organization. Default channels must be public or web-public. Users will be subscribed to the default channels configured at the time when they accept the invitation, so there's no need to update or revoke invitations when you change the default channels.
When you send an email invitation or create a reusable invitation link, you can customize which channels the invited users are subscribed to. Note that subscribing new users to a channel generally requires having permissions to do so, but anyone with permissions to invite new users can subscribe them to any combination of default channels.
