Quick Connect (QC) is a Rock feature that allows other users to connect with you (surprise!) quickly.
Users who scan your QR code or click on your personal space.new link will automatically open a space with you, making it easy for you to connect with people both within and outside your organization. Anyone can now quickly open a group space with you using your link which can easily be shared on social media, your website, email, or any other external page.
Not sure how to maximize this feature? Here are some nifty uses for Rock’s Quick Connect:
- If you’re a freelancer, it’s easy for you to onboard your clients or agencies you work with onto Rock as it only takes a few seconds in order for them to open a space with you.
- If you’re a business or an agency, it’s frictionless onboarding for your clients to join you in Rock.
- If you’re into business development, it will be easier for potential leads to connect with you as it only takes a few seconds to open a space with you.
Setting Up Quick Connect
Here's some simple steps to set up your QC.
- You can find your Quick Connect link by going to Settings. In Settings, you can find your space.new URL as well as a handy QR code that anyone can scan to instantly set up a group space with you.
- Personalize the experience by adding a welcome message to your QC spaces. This can be anything from a 'Welcome to my space' to 'Here's some information I need to get started: [...]'.
- Share your space.new link or QR code. When someone clicks on your link or scans your QR code a new group space is created on Rock.
- You will see a list of spaces that have been created and can then decide if you want to join. You will have the option to hide your email or phone number in QC spaces.
Keep control over your QC links by toggling the ON/OFF switch.
If the QC is set to OFF, people who try to access your QR code or click your link will not be able to create a space with you. You’ll also have the option to reset your link.
All you need to do is to press the three dots in the top right corner of the panel.
Note that once you reset your link there is no way of restoring it to a previously used Quick Connect link.
Quick Connect Unlimited⚡
Everyone gets their own space.new URL but by default, this is a random combination of characters. However, the Unlimited plan users have the option of claiming their own personalized Quick Connect link.
We’ll explain more about it below:
Claim your own custom Quick Connect link
With Quick Connect Unlimited you can claim your own custom space.new URL (for example, space.new/hello or space.new/yourcompany). Each QC link is unique and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Use templates for QC spaces
With Quick Connect Unlimited, you have the option to select a template for the space that will be created. This can be useful if you have a specific space in mind to be created when your Quick Connect is used.
For example, you can set your Quick Connect to a Project Management or a Marketing Campaign space in order to easily onboard clients or colleagues onto projects. Custom templates will also be added soon in order to allow you more flexibility with the Quick Connect spaces created with you.
