# Create a contact

> Connect with someone using a one-time invite link or QR code.

Connect with another person by exchanging a one-time invite.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Contacts tab">
    Select **Contacts** in the sidebar. At the top you'll find an **Add Contact** area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate an invite to share">
    Click **Generate Invite**, then share the **QR code or link** with the person you want to add so they can add you as a contact. The invite works **once**. Stay on **Contacts** while the other person uses the link or QR code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or paste an invite you received">
    If someone sent you a link, paste it under **Paste an invite link** and click **Pair**. Stay on **Contacts** until you're connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title={"You're connected"}>
    Once paired, the person appears in your **Contacts** list with their name and online status. From there you can **Message** them or **Remove** them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Stay on the **Contacts** screen until pairing finishes. If either person navigates away before the invite is used (for example, before someone clicks your link or before you click **Pair** after pasting a link), the handshake won't complete. Return to **Contacts**, generate or paste a new invite, and try again.
</Warning>
