Invite friends to an event with a link

You have chosen a date and want to invite your friends. Some use VerbinderApp; others do not.

For an event invitation, you can share a link that guests open in their browser. They can review the details and respond without installing VerbinderApp. The page asks for a name before it sends the response, and it asks the guest to complete a short check that they are a person. They do not create an account, and they do not enter a phone number or email address.

Start with the details your guests need

Here is how Emma invites Oliver to a birthday gathering.

Emma creates a Birthday event for Saturday 28 November 2026, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

She adds the meeting place, Riverside Café, and a short note: “Join us for coffee and birthday cake. We’ll meet at the entrance.”

The invitation gives Oliver a specific plan to respond to: what is happening, when it starts and where to meet.

1. Create the event invitation link

Emma opens the event and taps the invitation-link icon. The sheet is titled Invite guests with a link. She taps Create link.

The exact taps are in Create and share an event invitation link.

2. Share it in your usual conversation

When the link is ready, Emma copies it or taps Share link, then pastes it into her conversation with Oliver.

You can send an invitation link through a messaging service you already use. VerbinderApp does not send that message for you. The message provides the introduction; the invitation page holds the event details.

Before sending, check that the event contains the information you want recipients to see.

The link belongs to the event, not to one named person. Anyone who receives it can open the invitation and respond under the name they enter.

3. Your guest opens the invitation and responds

Oliver opens the link in his phone’s browser. He sees the birthday title, the date and time, Riverside Café and Emma’s note. He does not see who else was invited.

He enters his name and taps Accept. The page asks him to complete a short check before it sends that response. He does not install the app, create an account, or enter a phone number or email address.

Accepting tells Emma that Oliver plans to attend. It does not add the event to his calendar. After he accepts, the page offers Add to calendar, which downloads a calendar file he can open in his own calendar app.

From the same browser, he can later choose Decline instead. That updates his answer. It does not turn on reminders, and it does not keep the event in step with later changes by itself.

4. Check the response on the event

Emma opens the event in VerbinderApp. Oliver appears under Guests invited by link, with an accepted response. He is not added as a contact, and he is not listed under Participants.

That keeps the invitation on the event, so Emma does not have to search the conversation to remember who answered.

Keep the invitation easy to act on

Before sharing the link, check:

• The date and start time.
• The expected end time.
• The meeting place.
• Any short instruction guests need.
• Which event details are visible through the link: the title, time, place and note. Other participants are not shown.

If you change the event, the invitation page shows the new details the next time a guest opens the link. Opening or responding does not subscribe the guest to notifications, so they are not told about the change. For an urgent or last-minute change, contact them directly.

If you cancel the event, the page stops accepting responses and says the event has been cancelled.
