Invite your crew

There are two ways to get people onto a trip: share the invite link and let them join themselves, or add them as companions from the crew sheet. Use the link for anyone with the app; use companions when you're organizing on someone's behalf — including kids.

Invite by link

The fastest way. Only the trip owner can share the link — the menu item is hidden for everyone else, and the server enforces it. owner

1. 1
   Open the trip and tap the ⋯ menu in the top-right corner.
2. 2
   Tap Invite by link (it's also behind the share button in the crew sheet).
3. 3
   The share sheet opens with the trip's join link and 6-character code — send it anywhere.

Anyone who taps the link (or types the code) sees a preview of the trip and joins with one tap — the whole flow is in Join a trip. Joining twice is harmless; people stay a single crew member.

Add companions from the crew sheet

Companions are your reusable address book of travel people — add someone once, then put them on any trip. Adding companions to a trip happens in the trip form's crew sheet, so it needs edit access (owner, organizer, or Edit permission). organizer

1. 1
   Open the trip, tap ⋯ → Edit, then tap the Participants row.
2. 2
   Search your companions and tap one to add them to the trip.
3. 3
   Tick the small Edit checkbox next to a non-organizer to let them change the trip and its plans — owner only. A short confirmation appears ("… can now edit this trip's plans") so it's clear what the tick did; untick it and they're back to view-only. Organizers stay checked and locked — tapping their box just explains that edit access already comes with being an organizer.
4. 4
   Tap the X on a row to take someone off the trip (their share of any cost split is redistributed).
5. 5
   Tap the check to close the sheet, then save the trip.

Need someone who isn't in your companions yet? Add them from Settings → Crew → Invite: name is required, email is optional. With an email, Limbo sends them an invite; if that email already has a Limbo account, they're linked and notified right away.

What the invitee sees

• An email invite, if you entered their email — plus an in-app notification when their account is already on Limbo.
• The trip appears for them once they're on the crew, and your row shows in their Settings → Crew list with an Accept invite button.
• Until they accept, their row shows a neutral placeholder instead of their profile photo, and they don't hold ballots on voting trips — pending invites never block a vote from resolving.

Children

Add a child as a companion with the Child checkbox and pick their age. Children come along on the trip but stay out of the grown-up machinery:

• they don't count toward chat eligibility (a trip chat needs two non-child members),
• they don't vote on ballots,
• they're left out of cost splits.

Permissions

• Add or remove trip companions: owner and crew with edit permission. organizer
