Every invitation has its own web address (URL). Sometimes you may want to change that address. For example, because the event name has changed, because the link should be clearer, or because you want a shorter and easier-to-share URL.
Changing the link only updates the web address. The invitation itself remains exactly the same.
When is it useful to change the URL?
There are several situations where changing the link can be helpful.
- the name of the event has changed
- the current link is too long or unclear
- you want a link that is easier to share
- you want to replace a previously shared link
It is best to update the URL before you start sharing the invitation widely. This prevents guests from using an outdated link later.
How to change the link
You can change the URL of an invitation through the event details.
In the dashboard, click the menu (⁝) next to the invitation and choose Edit details. In the window that appears you can change the last part of the link.
Edit the text in the red field and then save the settings.
What happens to the old link?
When you change the URL, the old link will no longer work. Visitors who open the old link will see a message that the page cannot be found.
The invitation itself still exists, but it is only accessible through the new link.
Do not forget to share the new link
After updating the URL, your invitation has a new web address. Make sure to send this new link to your guests. Guests who saved the old link will otherwise no longer be able to open the invitation.
