Share a public join link for a program

Each program can have a public join link. Anyone with the link can fill in a short form and become a member of the program, without signing in. Organization Admins and the program's Program Lead can turn it on.

Turn on the join link#

1. Open Programs and open the program.
2. On the Overview tab, find Public join link.
3. Select Enable. A link appears.
4. Select the copy icon and share the link, for example in a WhatsApp group, a newsletter or a poster.

What visitors see#

The page shows your organization's name, the program's name and its description. Visitors enter:

• First name (required)
• Last name
• Email and Phone — at least one of the two

If your organization offers text messages, there may also be a box to agree to receive them. It is optional.

After they select Join, they see Thank you! If they were already a member, they see You're already a member!

What happens next#

• The person is added to the program's Members tab.
• If their email or phone matches someone already in People, NizamOS uses that existing record instead of creating a duplicate. Details already on file are not overwritten.
• Admins get an in-app notification in the bell about the new join.

Turn it off or replace the link#

• Select Disable to stop the link from working. Enabling it again brings back the same link.
• Select the refresh icon (Generate a new link) to replace the link. The old link stops working straight away.

Good to know#

• The join link adds people to the whole program. To let visitors sign up for a single session, use a session registration link instead.
• Too many submissions from one connection in a short time are refused for a few minutes, to protect your form from spam.
• Programs are part of the Core plan and above.

Troubleshooting#

If a visitor sees "This link isn't available", the link was disabled or replaced. See A public link isn't working.
