If you or a member was recently invited to Motion and are met with an onboarding screen asking you to name a workspace and connect a data source - you likely set up a brand new organization instead of joining the existing one!

2. After you confirm the deletion, resend an invite
3. The invited user should accept the new invite directly from their email
