Create my first session

Creating a session in the portal is straightforward as all of the session configuration has already been defined through the Hub. You will have the option to create a single session or to create sessions on bulk by uploading a csv file.

For each session you will need to provide:

  • A name
  • An email address
  • A reference code for your own tracking purpose (optional)
  • Automated email reminders to users (optional)

  • Press Create session and select Create a single session

When you have created a session, you will be see a button on a sessions details page to copy the session link. This link will need to be sent to your user.

This must be completed by the user. They will complete the end to end session, see below for example of the flow.

Most of our clients create an email template provided with context on what the session is and how to complete this. If you need a hand on this please Get in touch.

Create sessions in bulk

Alternatively to creating a single session, we give you the option to create sessions in bulk for numerous individuals. To do this you must click on the "create session in bulk" option.

You must upload a csv file with your candidates names and emails in separate columns. Once the csv file is uploaded we will automatically create all the session links for you.
