Inviting Members to a Community

Inviting members helps you grow your community and build an audience for future events.

On Buzzable, you can invite people from several contact sources, including your phone contacts, uploaded personal lists, existing community member lists, and attendee lists from events you host.

Invited members appear in the Members tab of the Community Dashboard.

You can invite members from the Community Dashboard.

There are two places to find the invite option:

Both options open the invite modal.

The invite modal includes four types of contact lists:

Phone Contacts include phone numbers and email addresses that you have synced from your phone.

Use this option when you want to invite people directly from your saved contacts.

Personal Lists are contact lists you create by uploading a spreadsheet of contacts.

You can name these lists however you want.

Examples:

Personal Lists are useful when you already have an audience outside Buzzable and want to bring them into your community.

Community Lists include members from communities you host.

Use this option when you want to invite members from one of your existing communities to join another community.

Events Lists include attendees from current and past events that you host or have hosted.

This is useful when you want to turn event attendees into long-term community members.

For example, after hosting an event, you can invite attendees to join your community so they can hear about future events.

After selecting a list, choose the contacts you want to invite.

You can send invitations by:

The email and text invitations are for the selected community invitation only.

Once invitations are sent, invitees will be listed in the Members tab on the Community Dashboard.

A community becomes more useful as it grows.

When people join your community, you can keep them connected beyond a single event. This makes it easier to announce future events, send updates, and build a recurring audience.

Instead of starting from zero each time you host an event, you can invite people who already know your community.
