How public join works
- You share a join link (e.g.
rowhouse.co/clubs/joinwith your org context, or a custom invite page). - Someone opens the link, enters their name, email, and optionally phone (and any required fields you’ve set).
- They submit the form. Rowhouse creates a membership for your organization and may send a confirmation email.
- They may be marked as Joined via payment or Joined via form (depending on implementation) so you can see how they joined.
Public join may require your organization to have join or invite settings enabled. See Join code and invite for how admins configure join links and codes.
When to use it
- Recruitment: Let interested people sign up without waiting for an admin to add them.
- Events: Point attendees to the join link so they become members before or after an event.
- Dues and merch: New members can then receive dues assignments or shop your store; you can also send them the join link after they pay if they weren’t already members.
Join code vs invite link
- Join code: A short code (e.g.
ABC123) that existing Rowhouse users enter in the app (club switcher → Join Club) to join your org. See Join an organization. - Invite link: A URL you share (e.g. email, social) that opens the public join form. Anyone with the link can open it and submit; they don’t need a Rowhouse account first (one may be created for them if they use email).
After they join
- New members appear in Members with the role member by default. Promote them to admin if needed. See Roles and permissions.
- You can add them to groups, assign dues, or invite to events.
