Group Inviter service allows to step up your SL group by sending direct group invitations to your location visitors.

What is direct group invitation? Why it's better?

What is the difference between direct and indirect SL group invitations?

Direct Invitation[1] Indirect Invitation[2]
Pop-up appears inviting to the group Message appears asking to "Press CTRL-H and click the link"
Resident joins after clicking on "Join" button Resident has to click on link in chat, open group profile, click the "Join" button
Works for closed-enrollment groups Does not work for closed enrollment at all
About 80% of residents join[3] About 20-30% of residents join
  1. ↑ The same invitation as appears when resident invites another resident
  2. ↑ "Simulated" from LSL script
  3. ↑ Based on our test on 20K traffic parcel

What's good about indirect invitation? Well, it's free and can be used from LSL script. But:

  1. SmartBots invitation cost only L$79 per week
  2. We have an AdminBot LSL API which allows even listening to a group chat!

How does it work

The following images show the main idea of SmartBots: you place SmartBots' Interface device on your parcel and it starts locating your visitors. You don't have to have SL bot on your land:


Resident comes and Interface
device locates him


Interface device notifies your
SmartBot about new visitor


SmartBot sends direct group
invitation for the visitor

Spamless

SmartBots are absolutely spamless:

  • The invitations are being sent only once to every visitor of your location.[1]
  • Existing group members won't receive invitations.
  • Respects parcel borders.
  1. ↑ However, you can setup your group to send invitation twice, or every time visitor comes back.
