Invite members to a group

As an Administrator you can invite people to join your group by sharing an invitation link, an invitation code, or by displaying a QR code they can scan.

Opening the invite modal

Mobile

  1. Navigate to your group and make sure it is the active group.
  2. Tap the Invite (add person / share) icon at the top right of the Groups screen header.
  3. The Invite members sheet slides up.

Web

  1. In the top navigation, click My library, then click the Groups tab.
  2. Click your group's name from the list.
  3. Click the Invite members button — found in the group header or the Members tab.
  4. The invite dialog opens.

Ways to share an invitation

1. QR code

A QR code is displayed at the top of the modal. Anyone who scans it with their phone's camera app is taken directly to the join flow for your group.

  • Ideal for in-person situations: show it on a projector, print it on a notice board, or display it on your screen.
  • The QR code contains the same invitation link described below.

2. Copy the invitation code

Tap Copy code to copy the short alphanumeric invitation code to your clipboard. Share it via email, text message, or any other channel.

Members can enter this code manually on the Join a group screen in the app.

Tap Copy link to copy the full join URL to your clipboard. Share it anywhere — email, WhatsApp, a website, a notice board, etc.

When someone opens the link:

  • If they have the app installed, it opens directly in the app.
  • If not, they are taken to the web app's join page instead.

4. Native share sheet (Mobile only)

Tap Share to open the device's native share sheet. From there you can send the link via any app on your phone (Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, etc.).

  1. The person opens the link or enters the code.
  2. They are shown the group name and basic information.
  3. If not signed in, they are prompted to sign up or log in first. The code is saved so the join step happens automatically after login.
  4. They submit a join request.
  5. Their membership enters a Pending state until you (or another Administrator) approve it.

To review and approve requests, go to the Members tab and select the Requests filter. See Manage members & roles.

Invitation code validity

The invitation code for your group stays valid until it is regenerated. There is no automatic expiry. Regenerating the code invalidates all previously shared links and codes.
