# Invite people

> Send one person a link or a QR code for your Chest

Only the owner can invite. Open **Invite people** from the Chest or from the card menu on [Your Chests](../chests/your-chests).

The sheet says **Each link or code works for one person.**

## How do I send a link? <a href="#send-a-link" id="send-a-link" />

1. Open **Invite people**.
2. Stay on **Link**.
3. Tap **Create link**.

OurChest says **Send this link to one person. It works once and expires in 24 hours.**

Tap **Share** to send it, or **Copy**. After **Copy**, OurChest shows **Link copied**.

**Create another link** makes a new one. The earlier link still works until it is used, until it expires, or until you revoke it.

## How do I show a QR code? <a href="#show-a-qr-code" id="show-a-qr-code" />

Tap **QR code**, then **Show QR code**.

OurChest says **Let one person scan this with their camera. It expires in 3 minutes.**

They scan it from [Scan a QR code](./scan-a-qr-code).

**Make a new code** replaces the one on screen. The old code stops working.

## How long does it last? <a href="#how-long" id="how-long" />

A link works once and lasts 24 hours. The sheet can say **Expires in 24 hours**.

A QR code works once and lasts 3 minutes. When the time is up, the sheet shows the code as expired.

**Active invites** lists the ones that are still open. If there are none, it says **No active invites.**

## How do I turn an invite off? <a href="#turn-an-invite-off" id="turn-an-invite-off" />

Open the invite and tap **Revoke**.

That invite cannot be used. OurChest shows **Invite revoked**. A link or code that was already used stays used. Revoke does not remove someone who has already joined. That is [Remove](./members) on **Members**.
