Your group gets pinged. RideClan pushes an invite to your group. When they tap it, they land on your live map.
If it does not work
If your group does not get the invite, make sure they have notifications allowed and are on the latest version of RideClan. You can always re-share the invite link or QR code directly from the ride so anyone can join.
FAQ
What is the difference between Ride Now and inviting first?
Ride Now starts the ride immediately and sends the invite at the same time, so riders join a ride that is already live. It is the fastest way to get a spontaneous crew moving.
