They join your family and see everything you have logged. ## Before you start - The person you invite needs an iPhone with Cami and a Cami account of their own. Cami asks them to create one when they join. - Anyone in the family can send the invite. There is no limit to how many people can join. ## Send the invite 1. Open the **More** tab. 2. Tap **Invite**, the QR code button at the top. The empty seat next to your family’s faces opens the same screen. 3. Tap **Share Link** and send it the way you usually send things, like Messages, WhatsApp or email. ![The More tab in Cami: the Rivera family's faces and an empty seat, the Your Family row, and the QR code button at the top right.](https://camibaby.com/help/invite-family/more-tab.webp) ![Cami's Invite screen: the family's QR code on a morning sky, the Share QR Code and Share Link buttons, and a line saying anyone with the invite joins the family.](https://camibaby.com/help/invite-family/invite-sheet.webp) If they are next to you, you can skip the message: tap the code to show it large and bright, and they point their iPhone camera at it. The camera opens the invite. **Share QR Code** sends the code as a picture instead. You can also start from **More** , **Your Family** , **Members**: tap **Invite to Family** at the end of the list. ## What happens next They install Cami and tap your link, which opens straight into your family. Or they open Cami, tap **Scan Invite Code**, and scan your QR code or type the six characters at the end of the link. The steps on their side are in [Join your family on Cami](https://camibaby.com/help/join-a-family). Once they join, they see your children and every entry from the very first one, and what they log shows up on your phone as it happens. **Important** Anyone who has the link can join your family and log with you. Send it only to the people who care for your child, and turn invites off if it reaches someone else. ## Stop an invite from working The family’s owner can close the door from the Invite screen. Tap **Invite options** , the button at the top right, and choose: - **Turn Off Invites**: nobody can join until you choose **Turn On Invites**. The same link and code work again when you do. - **New Invite Link…**: the current link and code stop working at once. Anyone who has not joined yet needs the new one. Other members see only **Copy Link** in that menu. To remove someone who already joined, see [Members, roles and the owner](https://camibaby.com/help/members-roles-owner). ## Troubleshooting ### The QR code won't scan Hold the phone so the whole code fits in the camera, a hand’s length away. If their camera still does not react, they can type the code instead: in Cami, **Scan Invite Code**, then **Enter the code manually**. ### They see “We don't know that code” Check the six characters against your invite. If the owner made a new invite link, the old code no longer works, so send the new one. More fixes are in [Invite code not working](https://camibaby.com/help/invite-code-not-working). ### The link opened the App Store, not Cami That happens when Cami is not installed yet. After they install it, they open the same link again and Cami fills in the code. ## Related articles - [Join your family on Cami](https://camibaby.com/help/join-a-family): Scan the family's QR code, open their invite link, or type the six-character code. You see everything they logged, from the very first entry. - [Members, roles and the family owner](https://camibaby.com/help/members-roles-owner): Everyone in the family sees and logs everything. A role only changes how nursing reads. The owner alone can remove people or delete the family. - [My invite code or link doesn't work](https://camibaby.com/help/invite-code-not-working): Check the six characters against the invite, then ask the family for a fresh code: the owner may have made a new link or turned invites off. ## Still need help?
