Invite your community
Add people to an Invite only indicator by name, with one invite link, or from a list you already keep, all from its People panel.
The panel opens from the receipt after you publish, from the indicator's page, or from the editor (Where you manage people).
Invite by name
Invite people… opens a search: "Search followers, tiers or a username". Pick the people, add a note if you like, and press Send invites. Each one has access at once.
Someone who does not follow you is found by their full username: "Someone else? Type their full username to find anyone on OpenMarket."
Tiers. A tier is a named group, such as Premium, that you invite to several indicators at once. Manage groups keeps your tiers, and a tier holds at most 200 members.
The invite link
One link for your whole community: post it where your members already are, and everyone who opens it can get in. Invite link is in the People panel's corner menu, and People who open it decides what happens:
| Choice | What happens |
|---|---|
| Ask to join (the default) | each person asks, and you approve each request in the People panel |
| Join right away | anyone with the link gets access when they sign in |
Either way, the link can carry a limit (how many people may join with it) and an end date (Works until). Both are optional.
Make a new link retires the old one: the old link stops working, so a link that leaked is closed in one click.
A request shows in the People panel as "maya asked to join", with Approve and Ignore.
Import a list
Import a list takes the list you already have. Paste names and emails into the search, or drop a .csv or .txt file on the sheet. A file names each person by Username or by Email, and Ends is the day their access ends:
Username,Email,Ends
maya,,2026-12-31
,[email protected],2026-11-04Rows with a username get access at once. Rows with only an email become personal links: the import gives you a CSV with one link per address, and you send each one yourself.
email,url,until
[email protected],<the personal link>,2026-11-04OpenMarket never emails your customers, and never tells you whether an email has an account. Your own name is skipped.
When the import is done it counts who was invited, who already had access, and who is not on OpenMarket yet. That last group can join with your invite link.
A person who opens their personal link signs in or signs up and lands on Add to chart (What members see).
The people list
The People panel lists everyone with access, with a search box and three views:
| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | everyone with access |
| Ending soon | people whose access ends soon |
| Not joined yet | people who have not opened their personal link yet |
Each row says since when and how the person got access, or until when it lasts:
Since <date> · Invited by you
Since <date> · Invite link
Since <date> · Access key
Until <date> · ImportedA row's menu sets an end date, removes it, or removes the person. The list follows the account, not the name, so a member who renames their account keeps access.
The corner menu holds Invite link, Access key, Export list and History. Export list downloads the list as a CSV. History shows who added, changed and removed whom, and when someone joined.
Remove people
Remove access on a row ends that person's access. The indicator stops loading for them, a Protected one within about 15 minutes (When access ends).
Switch to Just me
Switching an Invite only indicator to Just me removes everyone and retires its links. Before it does, the prompt counts the people and the personal links nobody has opened yet separately, so you see both numbers before you confirm.
