With a join code you invite people to a group. Every member of the group can create join codes in Manage group (or Group info if you are a member).
Types of join codes
- General: for one or more new members. Create one by tapping Create a new join code.
- Linked to a guest: meant for one specific guest in the group, so that person automatically takes over their existing quotes when joining. Create one by tapping the guest in the member list and choosing Link a join code. A linked code can only be used once.
Join code settings
When creating or editing a join code, you can configure:
- Invite by email: turn on Email the invite right away and enter one or more email addresses (separated by commas). With Only invited addresses can join, only those email addresses can use the code.
- Usage limit: on a general code, turn on Limit the number of uses to set how many times the code may be used.
- Validity: under Expires on, choose when the code expires. A join code works for at most 30 days after it was created.
Resending an invite or revoking a code
In Manage group / Group info, tap an active join code to show the QR code, share the code (Copy code or Share) or change its settings:
- Send again: tap Send again next to a linked email address. You can send an invite at most once every 24 hours and 5 times every 30 days per email address.
- Revoke: tap Revoke code at the bottom. Nobody can use the code after that.
You can always edit or revoke join codes you created yourself. Owners and administrators can manage every join code in the group.
Privacy
Email addresses you enter for a join code are erased as soon as the recipient joins, as soon as the code is used up, revoked or expired, and in any case no later than 30 days after it was sent.
