Growing your community is an exciting milestone! FluentCommunity provides a dedicated Invitations feature that allows you to easily generate special links to invite new members to join a specific Space.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to create, manage, and share membership invitations.
- You must be logged into your WordPress dashboard.
- You must have Administrator or Moderator privileges for the specific Space you want to invite members to.
Step 1: Navigating to the Invitations Menu #
To start bringing people in, you first need to access the invitation dashboard for your chosen Space.
Go to your community portal and select Spaces from the main top navigation menu.
Find the Space you want to grow and click the View Space button.
Once inside the Space, click on the Members tab located in the top-right menu.
Click the Invitations button (located right next to the Add Member button).
Step 2: Monitoring Active Invitations #
When you open the Invitations area, you will default to the Invitations tab. This is your command center for tracking the status of all the invites you have sent out.
Here is what you will find in this dashboard:
- Invitee: Displays the list of all the invitation links you have created or the specific users you have invited.
- Invited By: Shows the user profile of the host or admin who generated the invitation.
- Status: Quickly check if a specific invitation link is Pending, Accepted, Active, or Expired.
- Actions: Need to clean up? You can delete any specific invitation from the list here.
- Filter (Top Right): Use the dropdown menu to filter your list based on the invitation status, helping you quickly find expired or pending links.
Step 3: Creating a New Invitation Link #
Ready to bring in new faces? Generating a shareable link is the easiest way to invite groups of people to your Space.
- From the Invitations dashboard, click the New Invitation Link tab.
- Invitation Link Title: Give your link a clear name (e.g., “Spring 2026 VIP Invite”) so you can easily track it later in your dashboard.
- Limit the number of uses: Want to create an exclusive group? Enter a number here to cap how many people can use this specific link. Leave it empty for unlimited uses.
- Expire Date: Click the calendar field to set a specific date for the link to stop working. Leave it empty if you want the link to remain active permanently.
- Click the Create Invitation Link button.
Once created, simply copy the link and share it via email, social media, or direct message with the people you want to add!
✨ Note: When users click your invitation link, the system is smart! If they are already logged into your community, they will be instantly added to the Space. If they are brand new, they will automatically be prompted with a friendly Login/Registration form to create their account before joining.
🔍 Example: If you are running a special promotion, you can create a link titled “Promo 50,” limit the uses to exactly 50 people, and set it to expire on Friday. It’s a great way to build urgency and excitement!
