  I have seen some page links shared through the emails
  These pages carrying system generated links and can not be accessed using a direct links or once the link expires

  Can we achieve the same using WordPress

  All I want to do is share Invitation based links. Only the invitee can access that URL and accessibility is valid for given time period or one time.

  Is there a way to achieve it using the WordPress?

  Hi there!
  You must have had your ear against the wall! There is now a way to build a membership website here at Wordress.com – just got rolled out a few days ago.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/

  Anyone with a WordPress.com account visiting your membership site will now be presented by a message prompting them to be granted access if they want to see the site and its content. If they don’t have a WordPress.com account, they’ll be offered the chance to create one.
  Whenever someone wants to sign up to your membership site, you’ll be sent an email and it’s up to you to accept/decline access for this user.

  The wording is a bit unclear as to whether everyone who wants to view your members only area is required to sign up for a WordPress.com account, though “offered the chance to” suggests not.

  There is no mention of one time or time expiring access, once they are in, likely they are in until you rescind their access manually.

  Hope that helps!
