When building your guide roster in Brindlechute, you can either search for an existing guide already in the network or manually add a new one.
1. Locate the Guide List
From your Outfitter Dashboard, open the sidebar on the left and click Guides.
At the top right, click the black pill that says + Add New Guide.
2. Search for an Existing Guide
At the top of the Add Guide screen, use the search bar to look for your guide.
If they already work with another outfitter, their name will appear for selection.
Always search first before creating a new guide—this prevents duplicate profiles.
Tip: Duplicates can occur if a different email is used between outfitters.
3. Add a New Guide (If Not Found)
If the guide does not appear in search:
Enter their First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone Number
Optionally, check SMS Subscription if they consent to receive texts
Choose whether they’ll be paid through Brindlechute
Keep them marked as Active unless they’re being added for future use
Add any private notes for your team
Click Invite in the bottom-right corner to send the guide an email invitation. If SMS Subscription is checked, the guide will also receive a text message.
The Invite button only appears when adding a guide. Once a guide's invitation is pending, there's no resend button — see How often are guide invitation emails resent for how reminders work and what to do if the email was entered incorrectly.
4. Guide Signup Process
Once invited, guides will receive an email prompting them to download the Brindlechute Guide App (iOS or Android).
They’ll need to:
Sign in using the same email address the invitation was sent to
Complete their profile
Connect to your outfitter account
Once connected, you’ll see their sync status update on your Guides tab.
