Invite Codes New
Share QR codes to quickly recruit new volunteers to your canvassing team.
What are Invite Codes?
Invite codes provide a fast way to onboard new canvassers without manual admin approval. When someone signs up using your invite code, they're automatically approved and ready to start canvassing immediately.
Benefits
- Instant onboarding - New volunteers can start immediately
- Pre-configured access - Districts and cut lists are automatically assigned
- Easy sharing - QR codes work at events, on flyers, or via text
- Trackable - See who signed up with each code
Creating Invite Codes
Team Leads and Admins can create invite codes:
- Open the app and go to Settings
- Tap "Invite Codes" (or access via Admin Dashboard)
- Tap "Create Invite"
- Configure the invite:
- Select which districts to grant access to
- Optionally assign a specific cut list
- Set maximum number of uses (1-1000)
- Set an expiration date (optional)
- Tap "Create" to generate the code
Sharing QR Codes
Once you've created an invite, you can share it in several ways:
Show QR Code
Tap the QR code icon next to any invite to display a large, scannable QR code. Perfect for:
- In-person events and meetups
- Printed flyers and handouts
- Presentations and training sessions
Copy Link
Tap "Copy" to copy the invite link to your clipboard. Share via:
- Text message or email
- Social media posts
- Campaign newsletters
Share
Tap "Share" to open your device's share sheet and send directly to messaging apps, email, or social media.
How New Volunteers Sign Up

- Create an account with email, Google, or Apple
- Download the app if they haven't already
- Start canvassing - they're automatically approved!
Managing Invites
Viewing Usage
Each invite shows how many times it's been used. Tap an invite to see details about who signed up with it.
Disabling Invites
You can disable an invite at any time without deleting it. Disabled invites won't work for new signups but preserve the usage history.
Deleting Invites
Delete invites you no longer need. Users who already signed up keep their accounts.
Best Practices
Event-Specific Codes
Create separate invite codes for different events or recruitment drives. This helps you track which events bring in the most volunteers.
Limited Uses
For smaller events, set a reasonable maximum (like 20-50 uses) to prevent codes from being shared too widely.
Expiration Dates
Set expiration dates for time-sensitive campaigns. Expired codes automatically stop working.
