Invite people

There is no invite system to learn. You just share a link.

How do I invite people to my flat?

To invite people, share the link to your flat or to a specific room. Flat.social has no separate invite system to manage. Whoever opens the link gets in, as long as your access settings allow them. Paste the link in a calendar invite, an email, or a chat message and you are done.

This keeps inviting simple: one link, sent however you already reach your people.

What does a flat link look like?

A flat link follows the pattern flat.social/{flat}/{room}. The first part is your flat, and the second part is a specific room. Share the flat link to drop people at your lobby, or a room link to send them straight inside.

How to share your flat

  1. 1
    Copy your flat link

    Your flat lives at flat.social/{flat}. Copy that address to send people to your lobby, where they pick a room.

  2. 2
    Or copy a room link

    To send someone straight into one room, use the room address: flat.social/{flat}/{room}.

  3. 3
    Share it anywhere

    Paste the link into a calendar event, email, Slack, or your event page. Anyone who clicks it lands in your space.

  4. 4
    Check your access settings

    Confirm your Access settings match who should get in. Open links let anyone join, while closed or domain-restricted flats turn others away.

Share the URL. The pattern is flat.social/{flat}/{room}.

What do guests see when they open your link?

A guest who opens your link lands in the browser with nothing to install. If you share the flat link, they see your lobby and pick a room. If you share a room link, they go straight in. Before joining, they set a name and avatar, then check their camera and mic.

Whether they get in at all comes down to your access rules, so set those first. See Privacy & access.

Send a room link for a timed session

For a workshop that starts at a set time, share the direct room link so attendees skip the lobby. New here? Point first-timers to Join a space so they know what to expect.

Old links break if you rename a URL

If you rename your flat or a room URL, links you already sent stop working. Share the new address after any rename. See Privacy & access.
