For accounts set up with .csv, or if you are manually adding new staff members to your TalkingPoints accounts, you as an administrator determine when to activate new staff accounts. If you set up your account via Clever or ClassLink, staff can access those portals directly, without needing an invitation email. Identify how to send staff members the invitation email to log in to TalkingPoints.

💡Tip: This is helpful to do right before introducing TalkingPoints a staff training, so staff can have an invitation email at the top of their inbox!

Step 1: Click 'Staff & Roles.'
​Step 2: Use the checkboxes to select your staff and click 'Invite,' or use the 3 dot menu next to the staff's name.

This will send an invitation email to the staff member's school email address from TalkingPoints. The invitation will be sent to all staff and selected filters will not be applied. This invitation email is how staff login for the first time and set up their password.

Screenshots above may look slightly different as TalkingPoints is constantly evolving! Don't worry, we periodically make sure our guides are up-to-date so that you have the latest how-to's.
