Error msg: “Can’t send invite right now. Try again.”

I’m signed into my Google nest through my Google account and unable to invite my spouse to the household.

I get this error message: can’t send invite right now. Try again.

also, I am an Apple Music subscriber, and Google nest will not link to my Apple Music account. I go through the process and when I’m done it’s still says Apple Music is not signed in and the default free month of YouTube music is in priority position.

Hey folks,

 

Are you going through the following steps?
 

  1. Open the Google Home app Google Home.
  2. Switch to the home you want to share.
  3. At the top, tap Add Add and then Invite home member and then Invite person.
    • If you don't find "Invite home member," tap Add person to home.
  4. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to invite to your home and then tap Next.
  5. Review what’s shared when you add someone to your home and then tap Next.
  6. Review the person’s access to your home and then tap Send.
  7. If your Google Family Group isn’t full and the person you’re inviting isn’t already in one, you’ll get the option to invite them to your Google Family Group.
    • To invite them, tap Add to Family.
    • To skip this step, tap No Thanks.
    • Note: You can have up to 6 members in a Google Family Group.

The person you invite will receive an email with instructions.

Note: If the person you want to invite already requested to join your home, you’ll need to accept that request instead of sending a new invitation.

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Best Regards,

Brad.

I did all of those things. I think my problem may have been caused by inviting someone with a G Suite email.

Hey all,

 

I am so sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this issue! Those troubleshooting steps usually do the trick! Well, the main issue here would be that they are most likely using a Gsuite email address. These pretty much do not work well or at all with our Nest products.

 

Best Regards,

Brad.

I've followed all those steps and still getting message "can’t send invite right now. Try again". I successfully added someone a few weeks ago, and now there is still only two of us but I can't send the invite to anyone else because I get that error message. The people I am trying to invite do have Google accounts/gmail email addresses also.

Same issue for me. I’m Trying to invite my spouse and get the “Can’t send Invite right now - Try again” error. She has a Gsuite email address, not a gmail address.

Is anyone going to fix this ever? It's obvious that it's an issue on Google's side. Pretty dumb that one google product cannot talk to another.

Totally agree with MichelleHD. 

This needs a fix ASAP

Same - this is actually ridiculous! So Google Nest can’t use a Google email address? … what? Why can’t you just add anyone you want? Makes the Nest near worthless. So weird.
