# How do I send an email invitation?

When you share a course, you can email a direct link straight to your learners. They don't need a login, and you can add your own message.

When you share a course, you can send an email invitation with a direct link to access it. It's optional, and recipients don't need an account, they click the link and go straight in.

## Send an email invitation

1. Open the **Share** dialog from a course card or the top of the editor.  
2. Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite.  
3. Add a custom message if you'd like to give context or instructions.  
4. Send the invitation. Recipients get an email with a direct link to the course.
