Invite people to your squad from your iPhone or iPad

Who can invite people to a squad?

Squad admins can create invites for a squad.  A squad admin can invite people via a text message, an invite link, or an email.  Learn more about Managing Roles and Permissions in squads, discussions, and group chats.  

Invite people to a squad

Share a QR code

Each squad invite link has a QR code that can be scanned to join your squad.  You can share the QR code easily from any device, or share the invite link URL via social media, text, or even email.  A person can scan the code using a Camera app or click on the link to accept the invite to join your squad.  Squad admins can use the default invite link (Squad Invite), or create a new link. 

1. Open the side menu
2. Select Invitations
3. Tap Share a link
4. Tap the QR code icon next to the link you wish to share with people

After scanning the link, the person will be prompted to sign in using an existing account or create a new account.  If the device that scans the code does not have the SquadPod app installed then the option to download it will be available.   

Just tapping the invite link will open the Android menu for Sharing content.  You can copy the link or share it via any option available to you in your device's menu instead of using the QR code.

Invite links can be revoked so people cannot join via the link wherever it was shared.

Manage Invites

Squad Admins can view all of the invites for a squad, including invites created by other Squad Admins.  Email and text message invites will show a status of Pending until it is accepted, declined, or revoked.  Squad Admins can make the following changes to pending invites:

• Edit the display name
• Change the assigned role for the invite
• Share a single-use invite link
• Resend the invite
  • Send a new email or text message if it has been lost
• Revoke the invite
  • Revoking an invite disables the link so the invited member cannot join the squad.
