When someone says "send me an invite," the default is usually email. It feels natural: create an event, add emails, and wait for RSVP replies. But while this works in theory, in practice it creates friction — and often fails completely.
Here's why depending on email for scheduling doesn't make sense anymore.
1. One Person, Many Emails
Most people have multiple addresses: a work email, a personal Gmail, maybe one for side projects or newsletters. Which one should you send the invite to? If you guess wrong, the event either gets missed or buried in the wrong inbox.
2. Emails Link to Different Calendars
Even when the invite does arrive, it doesn't always land in the right place.
A Gmail invite might try to sync with Google Calendar.
A work invite might be tied to Outlook.
An Apple ID might pull it into iCal.
The result? Fragmented schedules that don't talk to each other — and plenty of confusion.
3. You Don't Always Know Their Email
Here's the bigger issue: outside of close colleagues, you don't always know which email people actually use. Think about teammates, parents at school, or a local club. You have their number saved — but not their email.
Reaching out just to ask for an email adds unnecessary friction.
4. Not Everyone Checks Email in Time
Even if you send the invite to the right address, many people don't check their inboxes regularly — especially for personal or family events. That "RSVP" could sit unread while the event date creeps closer.
The Smarter Alternative: Contacts, Not Inboxes
Scheduling should happen where your real connections already are: your phone contacts.
That's what VerbinderApp does. Instead of juggling multiple emails and incompatible calendars, it lets you organize events with the numbers you already have. No inbox clutter. No guessing. No missed invites.
Final Thought
Email works for messages. But for scheduling, it's clunky, fragmented, and unreliable — especially in groups where you don't know everyone's "right" email. By shifting from inboxes to contacts, coordination becomes simple, fast, and natural.
