How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

You need to make sure that your rules are not too broadly-defined - try to specify filters so that you only match the exact type of content that you are interested in. I can't see why your rules would be getting fired by the site invite being processed, unless you have are matching all content items.

If you can clarify the question to describe the rules you have set up and what you're trying to achieve, it may be that someone can help you a little more.

Answer 2

are you trying to access from the link in the mail directly to the same browser where you were logged in with the user who sent the invite? This seems an authentication with wrong credentials problem. Try to use another computer if you can, or just wipe out cache and cookies, or use another browser with no stored passwords of previous users. Let me know if helps.
