Start a group and invite people

To start a group, open Settings and choose Start a group. Name it, then invite people.

Create the group

  1. Open Settings > Start a group ("A trip, a shift, or a team; close at hand").
  2. Name your group (for example, "Saturday hike"). Everyone you invite sees this name and sees who else is on the list.
  3. Tap Create.

Invite people

There are three ways:

  • Individual codes ("Field invitations"). Make several codes at once and hand them out however you like: read aloud, printed, or scanned off your screen. Each code is used once.
  • A shared QR code. One reusable code for event posters, flyers, or slides. Anyone scanning it joins until the number of uses you set runs out. See shared QR codes.
  • People you already know. Ask them from your lists or by username.

People who join this way answer roll calls. They are not added to anybody's alerts. You do not see their check-ins or schedule; you see who answered, at the moment you asked.

Limits and expiry

  • A group cannot hold more people than your plan allows, counting invites nobody has used yet.
  • Invitation codes expire after 72 hours if unused.
  • If a list is full, a larger plan holds more people.

Remove someone

You can remove a member. Removal is visible to the group, and the person receives a notice.
