Creating User Accounts in Veelo

Adding a new User in Veelo can be accomplished one user at a time, or you can upload several at a time using a CSV. You can add them in the Veelo Management controls the area, or, if you have a Premium or Enterprise subscription with CRM user provisioning turned on, you can create new users automatically within your CRM.

This article will walk you through how to add users:

• Individually through Management Controls
• Using CVS

For CRM user provisioning instructions, please search the Help Center for instructions for your specific system, or ask your customer success manager for additional details.

Adding Individual Users

1. While in theManagement Control Area, click theUsers tab.
   
   
2. Click the New User button.
   
   
3. Enter the user information:
   a) First and Last Name (required)
   b) Email Address (required)
   c) Title (optional)
   d) Company (optional)
   
   
4. Customize the email sent to the new user. Customizing the activation email is optional since there is default text, but we recommend making it relevant for your users to encourage prompt action. Click the Save button when done, and the system will email the user with your custom message as well as instructions on how to activate their account.
