Invites vs. program links
An athlete starts training with you in one of two ways. The two are not interchangeable:
- An invite puts someone on your roster. You coach them.
- A program link sells someone a program. They're your customer.
| Invite | Program link | |
|---|---|---|
| Athlete pays? | No — your plan covers them | Yes — the program's price |
| On your roster? | Yes, and on the team the invite names | No |
| Uses a seat? | Yes | No |
| You see their training? | Yes | No |
| You can message them? | Yes | Yes, while they run your program. You start the thread. |
| Best for | Your team, your in-person clients | Selling programs online |
When to use an invite
Use an invite for anyone you coach: your team, your gym's members, your personal clients. They join free, appear on your roster, and take one seat.
An invite goes to one email address and works once. A team invite adds the athlete to that team when they accept. They then receive the team calendar's training. An invite with no team adds them to the organization only.
When to use a program link
Use a program link for people who want your programming without one-to-one coaching. They buy the program and train it in the mobile app. They don't appear on your roster.
One account can hold both. An athlete can be on your team roster and buy another coach's program. See creating your account.
