Overview
Admins can manually create connections (matches) between members to help facilitate networking, collaboration, or introductions.
How to Create a New Match
In Admin, go to Matches → New from the left-hand menu.
Fill in the following fields:
Select Member 1 – Choose the first member in the match.
Select Member 2 – Choose the second member to be matched.
Message (Optional) – Add a short note or context for the match (e.g., “Both working on sustainability projects”).
Creator – Enter the admin or match-maker’s name who is creating the connection.
Choose one of these actions:
Add to Queue – Saves the match as Queued. It will appear in the review queue and can be published later.
Publish – Makes the match live immediately and visible to the matched members.
Tips for Admins
Use Add to Queue if you want to review or batch publish matches later.
Include context or message to help the matched members understand the connection.
Periodically review queued matches to avoid buildup in the queue.
After publishing, monitor the interaction/match status via the Matches directory (see “Managing Matches”) to track outcomes and engagement.
