About invites and SMS messages

There are multiple ways you can invite friends and family to collaborate on your Sortible events, but one of the simplest is by inviting them via SMS message. On this page, we’ll walk you through how to send SMS invites to your guests, and also show answer any security questions you may have.

Step one

From your event page, tap the add user icon in the top right. If this is your first time adding guests, you may need to give Sortible access to your contacts.

Step Three

Tap the “Send invites” button. That’s it! Your invites are now sent. Once you’ve sent someone an invite, you can always use the “Resend invite” button next to their name if they didn’t receive it the first time.

What do our text messages look like?

Invitations sent via text message on our app may be sent from one of many phone numbers, and will always include a link beginning with xxx — this is Sortibles official shortened URL.

If you're concerned about a text or you received, or have gotten reports that recipients have received a card from you that you didn't send, please forward the email to support@sortible.com It's possible that someone has created an sms to look like a Sortible invite in a phishing attempt.
