Resend or cancel a family invitation
Sent an invitation and need to take it back - or nudge someone who lost the email? Every invitation sits on your family’s member list as Invited until it’s accepted.
Managing invites is an organizer/adult job, like sending them. (Roles and permissions)
Share it again
Section titled “Share it again”Tap the pending invitation to open it. You see the QR code, the 6-character join code, who it was sent to, and when it expires.
- Same room? Let them scan the QR code from your screen.
- Anywhere else? Tap Share invitation (on the web, Copy invitation link) and send the link any way you like - a message, a chat app, a note.
The link and code work from any account, so a lost or misdirected email is no longer a problem.
On Android, Resend next to the pending invitation sends the email again.
Expired invitations
Section titled “Expired invitations”Invitations stop working 7 days after they’re sent. Send a new invitation from Invite - it comes with a fresh link and code, and restarts the clock.
Cancel an invitation
Section titled “Cancel an invitation”Wrong address, wrong role, or plans changed:
- Tap the pending invitation to open it.
- Choose Cancel invitation, and confirm.
The QR code, the code, and the emailed link stop working right away. If the person tries them anyway, they’re told the code doesn’t work anymore - nothing about your family is shown.
Common situations
Section titled “Common situations”- Picked the wrong role? Cancel the pending invite and send a new one with the right role - the role is fixed when the invitation is created.
- “Already a member” means that person already belongs to your family - nothing to resend.
- They accepted before you cancelled? Then they’re a member now - remove them from the member list instead. (Remove a member)
The invitee’s side of the flow is covered in Accept a family invitation.
