Activating a Team Member in Propel Your Business #
If a team member tells you they haven’t received their activation email, or they appear as not activated, here are the steps to check and resolve the issue.
1. Understand the Difference: Team vs. Company Settings #
- The Team section (left navigation bar) is an org chart tool.
- Use it to assign people into departments with department leaders.
- Adding someone here does not activate their account.
- To activate an account and send an email invitation, you must go to Company Settings.
- Only Company Admins can do this.
2. Check User Status #
- Go to Company Settings in the bottom left-hand navigation.
- Select Users.
- You’ll see:
- All team members listed.
- Their role (Company Admin or Company User).
- Their status (Active or Inactive).
3. Activate the User #
- Find the inactive team member.
- Click the three dots on the right → Edit.
- Change status to Active.
- Click Edit User to save.
Once saved:
- The system immediately sends an email invitation to the address on file.
- The email includes a link to set up their password.
4. Activation Link Details #
- The invitation link is valid for 1 hour.
- If the user misses the window, send them the Getting Started support link, which contains instructions to regenerate or reset their activation.
