As an Admin of your local VV group, you can add attendees via WhatsApp on your phone. Attendance at your group is a key criteria for adding a new member to your local VV group (if you’ve met them in your group, you can add them on WhatsApp).
Here how (with screen shots):
At your group, open WhatsApp on your phone
2. Click on your local VV group
3. Once in your group, click the name of your local group at the top of the screen
4. Click on the ‘Members’ (will normally show the existing number of Members in your local group)
5. Click ‘Invite via link or QR code’
6. (you will see a pop up saying ‘People who join via link will also be added to the community “DIDS 24/7 dad chat” and it’s announcement group.’) - click ‘Continue’
7. Click QR Code
8. Ask the new attendee to scan the QR code on your phone
9. Once they apply to join - you can approve via ‘Pending requests’ in WhatsApp (only approve the name/number you know in front of you)
