Inviting and Adding Guests to Your Event

​You've created an event, great! Now you want to invite your friends, customers, or leads to join you at the event.

​In Luma, we've built a powerful invite system so that you can send email, SMS and push notification invitations to your guests. And they will be able to easily accept or decline those invites.

​You can invite people from the website or the iOS app.

​Guests will always receive an email and if they have linked their phone number, they will also receive an SMS message.

​Syncing Google Contacts

​On web, you can connect your Google Account to sync over your Google Contacts to Luma. This makes it easy to quickly invite your Google contacts to your new event.

​iOS App

​In the iOS app, you can sync your phone's contacts to invite anyone in your contacts to your event.

​If you sync over contacts, you'll be able to invite people by phone number, if you don't have their email. So this is a great way to send SMS invites to your friends.

​Require Approval

​Note that if your event or ticket has Require Approval on, inviting guests will bypass this setting. If someone registers from an invite, they will be automatically approved.

​Adding Guests

​You can also add guests directly to your event. When you add a guest, they will be marked as Going and will not need to accept the invite.

​Additionally, when you add a guest, we send them a calendar invite that should automatically add the event to their calendar.

​This is a great way to add VIPs or people who have already opted into joining your event.
