How can contacts invite others to my Destination?

This article explains two ways your contacts can share a Destination internally:

1. Via the “Invite Others” button

  • Enable this in Destination settings.
  • Contact 1 clicks the button, enters Contact 2’s email.
  • Contact 2 gets an emlen email with a personal message and the Destination URL.
  • The invitation appears in Destination Analytics under “Invitations” (showing who invited whom and when).
  • Contact 2 is added to Destination contacts.
  • Engagement tracking depends on access settings:
    • Contact tracking / Only invited contacts → engagement is assigned to Contact 2.
    • Guest access → counted as a guest visit (cannot confirm it’s Contact 2).

2. By sharing the Destination URL

  • Contact 1 copies or forwards the emlen link internally.
  • Contact 2 clicks and visits.
  • Tracking depends on access settings:
    • Guest access → guest visit.
    • Contact tracking → visit assigned after email entry.
    • Only invited contacts → access denied (“Email address has not been invited”).

Recommendation: Use “Contact tracking” for clear tracking. This works independently from the “Invite Others” button.
