Workaround for group invitation link

Hi ​@sarahmasterton-brown 

I am doing the exact same thing as we speak. 

From our product users are directed to a group event BUT not everyone is registered in community or a member of the group.

I am landing on the 404 or 403 errors message page (much like yourself)

I am trying to modify the message based on user profile or referal url.

I would add to the question for any Gainsters.

Can we use document.referrer in Custom CSS to modify images or text on the Error Message?

Could you send out a group join code and then have the event posted inside of the private group for them to view once in the group?

All of our groups are private, too, so we run into this when sharing content, links to group resources, etc. I don’t know of a workaround, so we’ve started by adding extra context (e.g., pairing the link with something like “Register for the group here first...” or “Register for your Community account here, and then...”).

I agree that it would be great if group links shared with people who aren’t in the group or the Community would first redirect to the group landing page or the Community registration page, though.
