This walkthrough adds a person to Contacts with a one-time invite. To invite them to a Space after they are paired, see [Create a Space](/quickstart/general/space). For status, messaging, and remove, see [Contacts](/using-webai/contacts).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Contacts">
    Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Settings**, then **Contacts**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate an invite">
    Click **Generate invite**. Share the QR code, or click **Copy invite link** or **Email**. The invite works once. A countdown shows when it expires.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They pair with you">
    Stay on Contacts until the other person pairs. They open Contacts, paste the link under **Paste an invite link**, and click **Pair**. Opening the invite link fills that field. They still click **Pair**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They are in Contacts">
    They appear in your list with their name. They are not in a Space until an Admin invites them from that Space.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Leaving Contacts before pairing finishes can stop the invite. **Generate invite** and **Pair** need a connection. When the countdown ends, generate another invite.
</Note>

<Tip>
  If someone sent you an invite, paste it under **Paste an invite link** and click **Pair**. Stay on Contacts until you are connected.
