Add People/contacts To Your Hubs

There are 2 primary ways to get people into hubs so you can begin communicating with them.

Option 1: Add contacts to the hub from the Hub CRM

• Under the Communications Menu, click Manage Hubs & Hub Contacts
• Locate the Hub you wish to add contact to and click the Add Contacts link for that hub. 
• You'll have 3 ways to add contacts: 
  • Create New Contact
  • Select from existing contacts
  • Enter a list of email addresses.

To Create a New Contact:

• Select the Role Name for the contact(s) you are adding to the Hub (Student, Contact, Admin)  Anyone not a student or hub admin should be added as a Contact.  
• If you wish to expire this person's role in the hub at the end of the year, toggle the switch and select the year you wish for this role to apply.   The role will expire at the end of the selected year. 
• If you are adding someone who is already in your database, begin by first typing in their first and last name and the email will automatically populate.  
• You can then choose to send an email to the contact letting them know you have added them to the hub as well as a personal message. Click Save to add this contact to your hub. 

After adding your first contact to the hub, you will then be in the hub, viewing all contacts in the hub.  From this screen, you can click Add Contact button in the top right corner to add more contacts to this hub. 

To select from existing contacts:

• Select the check box for all contacts you want to add to the Hub.
• Then Click Save.  You'll see a display of all selected contacts and can remove any if needed before continuing.
