## Chat Invites
Meetup hosts have the power to invite community members to our [chat server](/docs/chat). Here are the steps:
1. [Download](https://git.handmadecities.com/meetups/meetupinvite2000/releases) the latest **Meetup Invite 2000** from HMC Gitea
2. Make sure `config.toml` lives next to the binary (if you lost this file [notify us](/docs/support/contact) right away)
3. Run `./meetupinvite2000 chat [email]` where `[email]` is the email address of the community member
You'll then be asked the following question by the command-line tool:
- `"Can you vouch for the human identity of [email]?"`
If you answer no the program stops and exits. Otherwise you'll be asked the final question:
- `"Have you met this person in meatspace?"`
If you answer yes, the invite gets generated and the member is granted a **Verified Human** badge. If you answer no, the invite is generated anyway but this new user does NOT receive the **Verified Human** badge.
[Learn more](/docs/chat/#verified-human-badge) about badges.
