The Launch Kit
September 23, 2026 · Krishna Kamath
Telling people a community exists is the part that usually stalls. The launch kit does that part for you.
What's in it
Six pieces, each written for your community and each with a scannable QR code:
- An email
- A newsletter blurb
- A group chat message
- A social media post
- A printable flyer
- A yard sign, for where people are already waiting with a phone in hand
If your community is verified, the materials also carry the organization's logo.
Which link it uses
By default, every piece uses your request-to-join link. People who open it ask to join, and an admin approves or declines. Because it only collects requests, it's safe to post anywhere: a website, a public flyer, a sign.
Want people to join without asking? An admin can swap in the invite link instead. Keep that version to private channels, since anyone who has it joins right away. A verified community can also send every person on its list a personal invitation. Verify your community →
Where it lives
Right after you bring your community to OurHive, and any time later from your account.
