Q: I have a secret group like this on FB and when I copy the link from the url and send it to people, the page doesn’t come up for them. It should come up if I just copy the url shouldn’t it?
A. no…if its secret they can only see it if they’re inside (already approved). you’ll need to manually add them.
You can send an invite to them by email, but keep in mind a lot of people don't see the notifications Facebooks sends. Either they use a different email account, or it's filtered into a folder.
