# Invite Members: Share Your Pool Link or Join Code

> Two ways to get people into your pool: a shareable invite link or an 8-character join code. Free for up to 25 members — upgrade anytime to grow.

Once your pool is created, getting people in is the easy part. Toqui gives you two options: a direct invite link that opens the pool in one tap, and a short join code members can type in manually. Both work on any device, no app install required.

## The two ways to join

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Invite link" icon="link">
    A full URL that takes members directly to your pool's join page. Best for WhatsApp, email, or anywhere you can tap a link.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Join code" icon="hashtag">
    An 8-character uppercase code members enter at [toqui.app/join](https://toqui.app/join). Useful when sharing in a message where links get mangled, or in person.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Join codes are always 8 uppercase characters — for example, `TXKR92BF`. The code is case-insensitive when members type it in.
</Note>

## Find your invite link and join code

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your pool">
    Go to your pool's page from the dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Pool Settings">
    Click the **Settings** icon (or tap the three-dot menu on mobile) and select **Invite Members**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the link or code">
    You'll see both your invite link and your join code. Tap **Copy link** or **Copy code** to put either one on your clipboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How to share

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="WhatsApp">
    Paste the invite link directly into your WhatsApp group chat. It will render as a preview card — members tap it and land on the join page. One tap to join.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Email">
    Paste the invite link into the body of your email. Include a line like "Click the link to join and submit your picks before the first match." No attachment, no sign-up form — just the link.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Text / iMessage">
    Either the link or the join code works. For group texts where links sometimes get clipped, the join code is the safer option: "Go to toqui.app/join and enter **TXKR92BF**."
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Member limits and upgrading

Toqui is free for pools of up to 25 members. Once your pool hits that limit, new members who try to join will see a message that the pool is full. Your existing members and their picks are not affected.

To let more people in, upgrade your pool from Pool Settings. Paid tiers are a one-time payment per pool — not a recurring subscription — and scale up to 1,000 members.

<Note>
  Members never pay anything to join. Only the pool organizer pays, and only when the pool grows past 25 members. Joining is always free.
</Note>

[Upgrade your pool](/en/pricing/upgrade) to unlock capacity for 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000 members.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I reset or regenerate my join code?">
    Not currently. Your join code and invite link are permanent for the life of the pool. If you need to stop new members from joining, switch your pool to **Closed** in Pool Settings instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can members join after the tournament starts?">
    Yes, as long as the pool is still open and under capacity. Late joiners can submit picks for upcoming matches but won't be able to submit picks for matches that have already kicked off.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do members need an account to join?">
    Members need to sign in with Google or their email to submit picks and appear on the leaderboard. They can preview the pool before signing in, but picks require an account.
