Who can invite people to a squad?
Invite people to join your 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.
- Tap People in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the + icon
- Tap Share a Link
- Press the QR code icon to the left of 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 iOS 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.
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 Manage Invites. Squad admins can edit the display name, change the role, resend the text message, or revoke the invite while it has a pending status.
- Tap People in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the + button
- Tap Text Message
- Enter a phone number
- Enter a display name that can be changed
- Press the + button
- When you're finished, press Send
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 Manage Invites. Squad Admins can edit the display name, change the role, resend the text message, or revoke the invite while it has a pending status.
- Tap People in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap Email
- Enter an email. The display name will automatically populate with the text before the '@' symbol.
- Press the + button
- When you're finished, press Send
Import Contacts
You can import contacts from your device and select an email address to send an email invite.
- Tap People in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the + button
- Tap Import Contacts
- Select contacts from the list
- Press Finish
- Review the list of contacts. If you would like to select a different contact method for a contact, tap the contact's name, select the other contact method, and press Save
- When you're finished, press Send
Check out Managing Roles and Permissions to read more about each role in squads, discussions, and group chats.
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 they are 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
- 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
- Tap People in the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the + icon
- Tap Manage Invites
The most recent squad invitations will appear at the top of the list. The invitations are filtered by Pending, Accepted, and Declined. Invites that have been revoked will not appear in this view. Members that join your squad via the squad invite link will appear in the Accepted list.
