# Invite people to your Zendo

> Inviting someone to your Zendo is as simple as sharing a link.

## Intro

You can share your Zendo app with other people. At home, you can invite family, friends & guests. At a commercial property, you can invite staff, contractors, or visitors.

Inviting someone is as simple as sending them the invitation link. Each link can be used multiple times, so you can share it with multiple people (e.g., in a group chat or email).

Each link is unique and expires after 30 days for added security.

You can cancel an invitation at any time, so you don’t have to worry if you’ve made a mistake or sent it to the wrong person.

Once they’ve joined, you can give each person a personalised view of your floorplan with [Family Sharing (Access Control)](/share/acl): choose exactly which accessories they can see and control. You always see everything. For example: A guest staying for the weekend sees the guest room and the living room.

### Invite someone as Resident

If you're using Zendo at home, a resident is someone who lives at the property with you.

If you're using Zendo at a commercial property, a resident is someone who works at the property or is often at the property.

* You can set up [location-based automations](/automate/geofences) for each Resident.
* You can personalise the floorplan for each Resident using [Family Sharing (Access Control)](/share/acl).
* You can send [push notifications](/automate/push-notifications) to each Resident.

### Invite someone as Guest

If someone is visiting for a short period, invite them as a Guest.

* You can’t set up [location-based automations](/automate/geofences) for Guests.
* You can personalise the floorplan for Guests using [Family Sharing (Access Control)](/share/acl), but all Guests are treated as a group (instead of per‑person granular control).
* You can’t send [push notifications](/automate/push-notifications) to Guests.
