Invite the club is a button on a season, a ladder or a tournament event. It tells every member of your club that this is happening, and how to get to it. Press it as often as you like.
If your members are not on the register yet, do Bringing your list in first. Import brings the names in; this tells the people.
Who gets what
It counts your register and says exactly what is about to happen, before it happens:
- Everybody gets a message in the app. That includes people who have never signed in. Theirs is waiting the moment they do.
- Anybody who has confirmed an email address also gets an email.
- Anybody with an address but no way in yet gets one showing them how to sign in. What you are inviting them to is on it.
- Anybody with no address at all gets the app message only. It says how many, because those are the people the link is for.
It also says how many have had an invitation from you before, so you know if you are asking twice.
Adding a line of your own
There is a box for one sentence. "Boxes start the first week of May" turns a general invitation into a date somebody can plan around.
The moment to write it is while you are reading who is about to get it. Leave it blank and the invitation still reads properly.
Three links you can put on a noticeboard
Under Club there is a Links tab. Everything on it is safe pinned up in the clubhouse or pasted into a newsletter, because none of these links names anybody:
- Your club's own address, for an email signature.
- The club link, for somebody already on your list to find their way in.
- The joining link, for somebody who is not a member yet.
Why two of them might not work
A joining link does nothing without an open membership year. Your club's address lets nobody in while member sign-in is off.
Both say so on the screen rather than quietly going missing. Each names the one thing to set up and gives you the button that opens it.
Why nothing else is on that tab
Every other link in the product names one person. A player link belongs to one box and dies with the season. A renewal link, a staff invitation and a member's own sign-in each belong to a single human, and two of them sign that person in.
A screen whose whole job is "copy these and share them" is the last place any of those should be.
