From My People, open Invite family and friends. Each invitation is personal: a link that works exactly once, tied to a role. Caregiver — full access; Family — Love Bucket, photos, updates; Extended — Love Bucket only. Copy the link, text it or email it. The owner and caregiver-role accounts can invite; only the owner can hand out the caregiver role.
The person opens the link, creates their own account (or accepts with one they already have) and lands on the right page for their role. If the invitation carried their cell number, they can switch on Circle Updates texts there; texting is always their own choice.
Until they finish signing up, a reminder email goes out once a day, at a different hour each day (8 in the morning, then 4 in the afternoon, noon, 9 at night, and around again), in the patient's name, with the count of new posts in the circle since the invite. It stops the moment they join or the invite is revoked, and after 30 days. The Waiting to join row shows how many reminders went, when the last one was opened, and when the next one comes. The shareable friends link is never reminded: nobody is named on it.
For the wider circle — church, school, work — Tell more friends in the family's menu copies the circle's friends link to drop into a group chat. Anyone in the circle can share it. Whoever opens it types their name and email, creates a password and joins as a friend; the link can never make someone family or a caregiver. Friends see the friends feed only.
