What are invites?

Invites are a series of automated messages that encourage users to download and register for the app.

The invite sequence consists of 5 messages sent over 4 weeks, using both email and SMS. Each message highlights the benefits of Care Friends and contains a link to download the app.

Until a user has logged into the app, each message will be sent automatically to encourage them to register for the app, with no extra admin effort from you or your team! πŸ’ͺ

You can view the default wording of each message HERE.

Benefits

  • βœ… No manual follow-up - the whole sequence runs automatically, saving your team significant admin time.

  • βœ… Multi-channel reach - messages are sent by both SMS and email, maximising the chance of users seeing them.

  • βœ…Automatic encouragement to download - users who haven't yet registered for the app receive automatic repeat invites.

  • βœ… Smart stopping - once a user logs in, invites cease automatically. No risk of messaging users who are already active.

  • βœ… Customisable - the default wording and timings can be personalised to match your organisation's tone and brand - click HERE to learn more
