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.

Invite people to a squad

Share a Link

Squad admins can create squad invite links that can be shared and used multiple times.  Share it via social media, text, or even email.  A person can click on the link and accept the invite to join your squad.  Squad admins can use the default invite link (Squad Invite), or create a new link. 

1. Tap the 'invite+' icon in the top navigation bar.
2. Tap 'Share a Link'.
3. Tap the link you wish to share with people.
4. Select a method for sharing your squad link with the people you chose. 

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

 

Text Message

The app sends an SMS message to the provided phone number.  The text message contains a single-use invite link a person can use to join your squad.  The link can no longer be used after the invite is accepted or declined.  The pending invite will appear in the Manage Invites section under the Pending tab.  Squad Admins can edit the display name, change the role, resend the text message, or revoke the invite while it has a pending status.  

1. Tap the 'invite+' icon in the top navigation bar.
2. Tap 'Text Message'.
3. Enter a phone number
4. Enter a display name that can be changed.
5. When you're finished, tap 'Send'.

 

Email

The app will send an email invite to the provided email.  The link in the email can be used to accept the invite, or if the person has an existing account the email will display in the squad list. The pending invite will appear in the Manage Invites section under the Pending tab.  Squad Admins can edit the display name, change the role, resend the text message, or revoke the invite while it has a pending status. 

1. Tap the 'invite+' icon in the top navigation bar.
2. Tap 'Email'.
3. Enter an email - the display name will automatically populate the text before the '@' symbol that can be changed.
4. When you're finished, tap 'Send'.

Import Contacts

You can import contacts from your device and select a phone number to send an SMS message or select an email address to send an email invite.  

1. Tap the 'invite+' icon in the top navigation bar.
2. Tap 'Import Contacts'.
3. Select contacts from the list.
4. Tap 'Done'.
5. Review the list of contacts - here you can select a phone number or email if the contact has both items.
6. When you're finished, tap 'Send'.

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. 

View invites in your squad
