How to invite friends to your running crew, with a QR code
Three ways to get friends into your RunPack crew: send the link, pick them from Contacts, or let them scan a QR code at the start of a group run.
A crew is only as good as the people in it. RunPack 1.1 gives you three ways to bring them in. Free crews hold up to 8 people; with RunPack Plus, one person covers a crew of up to 30.
1. Send the link
Open the crew, tap Invite friends, and send the link anywhere: a group chat, an email, a club newsletter. It opens RunPack if they have it, or the crew’s join page if they don’t.
2. Invite from Contacts
Tap Invite from Contacts, pick the people, and RunPack opens Messages with the invite already written. It uses the iPhone’s own contact picker, so RunPack never reads your address book — it only gets the numbers you pick, and only to fill in that message.
3. Show the QR code
At the start of a run, tap QR. Anyone can point their iPhone camera at it and land on the crew’s join page. It’s the fastest way to turn the people you met at a group run into a crew.
Then plan the next run
Once they’re in, post a group run so everyone can tap I’m in.
