You make the welcome. The rounds run themselves.

Week 1Set it up

1. 1.Start your community and open the setup link we email you.
2. 2.Add a welcome line, a picture and a co-host. Everything after the first step can wait.
3. 3.Invite people by email or a pasted list, or share one join link, QR code or six-character code.
4. 4.Choose who can join: anyone you invite, or only certain email domains.
5. 5.Choose the rhythm: weekly, every two weeks or monthly. Rounds then run on their own.

Introductions start once two members are active.

Each roundWhat happens

• Each member gets one introduction, by email and in the app, with why they were paired. The app shows each other's full name and email, unless you turn that off in Settings. A phone number is optional, and shows only on a pairing your round made or once both say yes.
• One says yes and suggests a time, the other confirms, and they meet. We remind them the day before and an hour before.
• By default, an introduction nobody answers closes after 14 days, and one with a yes after 30. A heads-up goes 7 days before.
• Sitting out: anyone paused, anyone who isn't due on their own rhythm (unless you include them in a round you run yourself), pairs already introduced, and the odd one out.

MonthlyYour 20-minute routine

• A few days after a round, open it and see "How it's going": paired, said yes, booked, met.
• Nudge waiting pairs after two days. Both people get the same friendly note, so it never says who hasn't answered.
• Welcome newcomers by name in your channel or newsletter.
• Share one story, with permission: "Two of you discovered you grew up on the same street."
• Approve join requests waiting on People, under Asked to join.
