How do I add a co-host to my invitation?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Open the invitation, choose Collaborators, enter their e-mail, pick Can edit or View only and choose Invite. If they already have an account, access is immediate; otherwise it starts when they sign up with that address. Only the owner can add or remove people or delete the invitation.

An invitation is rarely one person's job. Collaborators let a partner, a parent or a planner help from their own login, with as much or as little power as you choose.

Invite someone

  1. Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Collaborators.
  2. Enter their e-mail address.
  3. Pick the role: Can edit or View only.
  4. Choose Invite.

If the address already has a Nimanto account, access is immediate and they get an e-mail with a link to the invitation. If not, the row reads "pending sign-up": the e-mail takes them to sign up, and access starts by itself the moment they sign up or sign in with that exact address. There is no accept step. Inviting the same address again changes their role.

The invitation appears for them under Shared with me with a Shared badge, and its dates on their calendar.

What each role can do

  • Editors can change the details and the design, publish and unpublish, add and message guests, approve replies, change RSVP settings and run the photo album. They can also duplicate the invitation; the copy is theirs.
  • Viewers can open the Overview, the guest list and replies, the Share page, the photo album and Downloads, but change nothing.
  • Only the owner can add or remove collaborators, reset the album link, delete the invitation, change Planned by, or leave the review after the event.

Limits and prices always follow the owner's plan. A payment made by a co-host still licenses the owner's invitation.

Remove someone

On the Collaborators page, choose the remove button on their row. Only the owner sees it.

Choosing what each person can change

When the owner is on Nimanto Business, the invite form adds What they can change: ready-made sets such as Guests only, Guests + details, Full editor and View only, or a custom mix of six rights: Guests, Event details, Design, Publish, Photo album and Planner. A collaborator then sees only the pages and buttons their rights open, which suits an event company inviting its client's family. Plans are compared on the pricing page.

To credit your company on the invitations you make, see Planned by. Who can use the planner is in Who can use the planner.
