Shared link or personal links: which to send?
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Use personal links when you can: each guest on your list has one, it greets them by name, shows their last reply and marks them as opened. The shared link is one address for everyone, for group chats and the QR code; whoever replies through it joins your guest list.
Every published invitation has two kinds of link. Both open the same invitation; they differ in what Nimanto knows about who is opening it.
The shared link
One address for everyone. Paste it in a family group, print it as a QR code, or put it in a message to people who are not on your list yet. Whoever replies through it joins your guest list with their reply. See replies through the shared link.
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Share.
- 2Under Your link, choose Copy, or Download PNG for the QR code to print on cards or show at the venue.
- 3Under Send it, write the message that goes with the link and choose Save message, then WhatsApp, E-mail, SMS or Copy message + link.
The link appears there only once the invitation is published. It is made from the invitation's title at the first publish and never changes afterwards, so a QR code stays good through every edit.
Personal links
Each guest on your list has a link of their own, made when the guest is added. It lets the invitation greet them by name, apply the plus-ones you gave them, show their last reply so they can change it, and mark them as opened in your list.
- 1Open the invitation and choose Guests & RSVPs.
- 2On a guest's row, choose Copy personal link, or the WhatsApp, SMS or e-mail icon to send it from your own phone or mail app with the guest's text ready. See sending on WhatsApp.
- 3For everyone at once, choose Send invitations: Nimanto e-mails each guest their own link, or Copy all messages gives you every guest's text to paste.
Which to use
- Personal links tell you who opened and who replied, and need no name from the guest. Use them whenever a guest is on your list.
- The shared link is for group chats, printed cards and anyone you could not list. Replies through it ask for a name and an e-mail.
- Nimanto never sends messages on WhatsApp or by text itself. Those buttons open your own apps; only e-mail is sent by Nimanto.
What guests see on each kind of link is in Personal link or shared link.
