After you have created your group and set the group rules, the next step is to invite members.
With MiKashBoks, members do not need a phone to join a group and participate, but members with phones, both Android and feature, will benefit from the SMS notifications as well as making transactions by themselves.
When you invite a member with a phone they will receive an SMS message with a six-digit code and also an invitation to install MiKashBoks. They should give you the six-digit code to be added to the group. If desired they can install MiKashBoks and see all of the details of the groups' progress as well as make transactions by themselves for Escrow groups.
Members without a phone will just be added to the group and do not need to provide the SMS code.
To get started it is helpful for the group admin to enter each member of their group as a contact in their phone and it is usually fastest to invite members during a group meeting while everyone is present.
Check out the following guidance to know how to add members both directly and manually:
 You will start either by clicking 'Invite members next' immediately after setting the group rules, or by finding your group in the 'Forming Groups' section of your dashboard. |  You will see a list of all your contacts. Scroll to find the member you want to add and tap on their name |  You can also search for more members with the magnifying glass at the top of the screen |
 Each member added will be displayed across the top, you can click on their name to edit their details. |  That's it! Group invites have been sent to the selected members |

 If a contact is not saved, after clicking on 'Invite Members next' when you are done setting the group rules, or by finding your group in the 'Forming Groups' section of your dashboard; click the green circle and then click 'Add Members' |  You will see a list of all your contacts. Find the member you want to add and click their name. You can also search for more members with the magnifying glass at the top of the screen |  Verify member names and phone numbers.

 Next, if needed, add their address. Then Click 'Next' |  Click 'Add member' |  To add a member without a phone number, click 'Add manually'. |

To remove members, if you have entered someone by mistake - click their name and then the three dots at the top right, and click 'Remove'.

 Lastly, review that you have added everyone, provide an optional message, and click the green check mark. Each member with a phone number will receive an SMS message with a six-digit code.

Remember, if a member doesn't have a smartphone they'll still receive an SMS that you'll collect to let them receive notifications. |  After you invite your members, return to your group on your dashboard. You can click on a member's name and enter the six-digit code. After you've entered each of these, you are ready to start your group and begin transacting. |
