Getting Started With Possip: Overview

Quickly learn the 3 steps for getting started with Possip.

1. Complete your settings page.

Let us know important information like when you would like to start Pulse Checks®, who will lead Possip at your school, and more.

• Follow these instructions to complete your settings for an organization, school, or single staff account.
• Follow these instructions to complete your settings for a system, district, network, or central staff account.

2. Submit your contact lists.

After you complete your settings, you'll be ready to submit contact lists. There are two ways Possip Partners can give us contacts' details:

Email your Customer Relationship Manager or support@possip.com to let us know which option you'd prefer!

3. Add admins and promote Possip with your stakeholders.

Once you set your start date and you've provided us with your contacts' details, you'll be ready for the final step: adding admins and promoting Possip!
