After you have set your group rules and added your members, the last step is to activate your group.

Remember that a group that hasn't been activated is considered 'Forming': you can still add members and modify settings. To get started recording meetings you will have to activate the group.

Follow the steps below to activate your group:

  1. Before you activate your group click "Unlinked members" to make sure everyone that has a phone number has their phone number included.

  2. If the "Unlinked members" box is checked, skip this step and click "Activate Group" and skip the next two steps.

  1. Any members that are unlinked can still be linked to the group by clicking "Link Member."

    Remember that a member can participate without a phone number, but they won't receive SMS notifications unless you add their number now.

  1. Add the number the same way you would have when you added members to the group.

  2. Click "Link" when finished

  3. Repeat for all unlinked members.

Return to the group and click "Activate Group"

Click "Get Started"

You'll see one last list of members who aren't linked. If possible go back and add their phone numbers.

When finished click "Auto Fix Issues" and your group will be activated.
