Overview
Workplace is built to give everyone in your organization a voice, whether you work in the head office or on the factory floor. We recognize that not every employee is given a company email address, so we created access codes. With access codes, employees can activate their account without the need for a company email address.
High-level instructions

Convert an email-less to an email account
In case an email-less user is assigned to a corporate email address, the email field for that user can be populated. When the email field is updated successfully, the user will no longer be connected through access codes and will be treated as a user with a corporate email address.
Deep-linking to Workplace mobile application
The access codes have a URL scheme that will allow you to deep link an access code URL directly to the Workplace mobile application. This means that you can share this specific URL via a web portal or other delivery mechanism so that the end user can simply click on a link which will guide them to the claim flow within the Workplace mobile application.
