Invitations and private events

Keep an event off the feed and decide who is on the list: invite people by name or email, or share a link, and take any invitation back.

How it works

An event set to private in Nook, with approval turned on.

Make it private

01. Set the event to private, and turn on approval if you want to see every request before it becomes a place.

Invite people

02. Find Nook members by part of their handle, or type an email address for anyone who isn't on Nook yet.

Invite links in Nook: one for a single person and one for everyone, each revocable.

Or share a link

03. Make a link for one person, or one for everyone you send it to. Each one shows how many people used it.

Guests accept in a tap

04. Invitations wait in the guest's inbox until they accept or decline, and the answer lands on your guest list.

Decide who comes

  • Invite by email

    Anyone without Nook gets an email with a link to the event, and can register from there.

  • Links you can take back

    Revoke any invite link, and it stops working for anyone who hasn't used it yet.

  • Approval for every request

    With approval on, requests wait with their answers until you let each person in.

Questions organizers ask

If yours isn't here, our support page and community can help.

Support
  • Who can see a private event?

    A private event stays off the feed, the map and search. People reach it through your invitations and links.

  • Can I invite someone who isn't on Nook?

    Yes. Invite them by email, or send them a link. The link opens in any browser.

  • Can I take an invitation back?

    Yes. Revoke an invite link, or withdraw a guest's invitation from the guest list.

  • Can I see who used a link?

    Each link shows how many people have used it, and everyone who registered through it is on your guest list.

Host as an organization
