Invite Only is an event hosting platform built for WhatsApp-first markets. Create a beautiful event page in under 2 minutes, share one link on WhatsApp, and watch RSVPs roll in. No app download needed. Guests RSVP in 30 seconds via OTP. UPI built in - guests pay, share their transaction ID, done. Real confirmed guest list. Not chat history. We built this because "yes bhai coming" means nothing. Now it means something.
We built Invite Only because WhatsApp was never meant to host events - we just never had anything better.
Until now.
One link. Your guests see a stunning invite, RSVP in 30 seconds, and pay via UPI - all without downloading anything. You get a real guest list, not a chat thread.
We shipped this in 2 weeks. Try it for your next event. It'll feel like cheating.
Does it work with phone numbers outside India? I tried to create an event but can't publish because I lack an indian phone number...
We’re encountering an issue with event publishing. Even after marking an event as “Live,” its status continues to remain in “Draft.” Additionally, the event link results in a 404 error, indicating that the event is not being properly published or routed.
This suggests a possible gap between the publish action and the backend/state update or routing layer. Needs investigation on event status sync and URL mapping.
After a lot of sleepless nights, hundreds of commits, and more edge cases than I'd like to admit - Invite Only v2 is finally live. Built the entire stack from scratch - real-time RSVPs, UPI integration, glassmorphic UI that actually works on budget Android. Proud of what we shipped.
Can't wait to see it in the wild 🙏

Who hunted Invite Only?
Invite Only was hunted by Himanshu Tripathi.

Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
