Invitation-Only Offer

Gate access behind a referral or nomination so the roster stays curated and the page speaks to insiders.

What it adds

The AI builder uses your existing member lists, referral rules, and access policies to create a page that assumes the reader arrived through someone, and validates that path before revealing details. It converts by treating the invitation as the qualifying event, which reduces persuasion work and raises commitment. The goal is controlled roster growth with a traceable source for every new member.

What your builder is told to do

7

The actual instructions, in order.

  1. 1

    Examine the supplied access and referral files to determine how invitations are actually issued: personal codes, nominator submissions, partner allocations, or manual approval.

  2. 2

    Build the entry surface around that real mechanism. If codes exist, validate against the documented format; if approval is manual, collect nominator details rather than pretending to validate.

  3. 3

    Write the pre-validation state for visitors without an invitation: explain how invitations are issued and give a single legitimate path to request one. Do not simulate exclusivity with a fake denial screen.

  4. 4

    Reveal offer details progressively — a public summary before validation, full terms and pricing after. Keep the public summary accurate rather than deliberately vague.

  5. 5

    Record the nominator on every accepted entry so the referral chain is traceable, writing to the destination named in the source files.

  6. 6

    Add a nominator-facing note describing what the referrer is and is not responsible for, drawn from the referral policy.

  7. 7

    Specify responsive behavior: on mobile the code entry is a single focused screen with numeric or alphanumeric keyboard hints and generous tap targets; on tablet the public summary and entry field appear together in a stacked card; on desktop the summary occupies the main column with a persistent entry panel in the sidebar.

Edge cases it handles

The things an agent skips when you only say "build a invitation-only offer".

  • An invitation code is expired or already redeemed; return a specific, non-shaming message with a documented next step.
  • A visitor arrives with a nominator name but no code; provide a manual review queue rather than a dead end.
  • Nominators exceed their allocation; enforce the documented cap and tell the nominator, not the invitee.
  • Public discovery of the page through search; the pre-validation state must stand alone as a coherent page.
  • Referral policy prohibits certain relationships; encode those restrictions in validation rather than in a footnote.

Definition of done

7

Your builder is required to check every one of these before reporting the work finished.

  • The invitation mechanism on the page matches the one documented in the source files.
  • A legitimate, stated path exists for visitors without an invitation.
  • Progressive disclosure is implemented, with an accurate public summary before validation.
  • Every accepted entry records a traceable nominator to the documented destination.
  • Expired, redeemed, and over-allocation states each return specific messaging.
  • Mobile, tablet, and desktop each support code entry and the pre-validation state cleanly.
  • The builder reports which access and referral files it used and which validation rules are assumed.

How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the link

    Grab the Markdown blueprint URL for this offer type.

  2. 2

    Give it to your builder

    Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever AI builder is already working in your app.

  3. 3

    It maps, then builds

    Your agent reads the blueprint first, then builds the offer into your app around the product, audience, and stack.

Works with your stack

These blueprints are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and use your source files instead of guessing the offer.

Need it tighter than that? Customize the offer file and tell it exactly which source docs and stack to use.
