Personal link or shared link: which do I have?

Every invitation has two kinds of link. They look almost the same and show exactly the same design; the difference is what the invitation knows about you.

Your personal link

When the host adds you to their guest list, Nimanto makes a link just for you. It arrives in the invitation e-mail, in reminder e-mails, or from the host on WhatsApp or by text. With it:

• The reply form has your name filled in.
• The form shows your e-mail and phone masked ("Updates go to k…[email protected]") instead of asking for them, with Change if they are wrong.
• You can reply for as many people as the host allowed for you. At the limit, the form says "Your invitation is for N guests. Need more? Ask the hosts."
• When you come back, you see your last reply and a Change my reply button.
• The host sees that you opened it.

The shared link

The host also has one link for everyone, the kind that goes in a family group chat. With it:

• The form asks for your name and e-mail (a phone is optional) so the host knows who replied.
• You can reply for yourself plus the number of extra guests the host allows on the shared link.
• Nimanto matches your reply to the host's guest list by your e-mail or phone, so replying twice updates your answer rather than counting twice.
• If you were not on the list, you are added to it, and the host can send you updates.

Forwarded a personal link?

A personal link opens with its owner's name and reply, and whoever opens it can change that reply. If a link shows someone else's name, do not reply on it: ask the host for your own, or use the shared link. When you share an invitation from inside it, with the Share block or the invite-a-friend button, Nimanto always passes on the shared link, so your personal one stays yours.
