Bulk Invite Team Members

How Parent Agency owners and admins invite many people at once by uploading a file: the columns, validation statuses and fixes, and the Sub-Agency bulk invite.

When you need to add many people at once, a bulk invite lets you upload a file and send invitations to everyone in it. This is the fastest way to bring on a large group, for example when moving agents over from another system. To invite a single person, see Invite Team Members.


Who can use bulk invite

Only owners and admins of the Parent Agency can send bulk invites. There are two starting points, and each uses a different file:

  • From Teams & Permissions: adds Parent Agency members (admins or Direct Agents) and new Sub-Agency owners.

  • From inside a Sub-Agency: adds agents into that one Sub-Agency. (coming soon)


Preparing your file

Open Teams & Permissions and click Bulk invite. On the first step there's a Download template link ("Not sure how to format your file?"). Use it to get a correctly formatted file. Each row is one person, with these columns:

  • Email (required): the invitee's email address. Must be unique within the file and not already a member.

  • Entity (required): where the person belongs, either the Parent Agency or a Sub-Agency.

  • Role (required): in the Parent Agency, use Admin or Agent. For a Sub-Agency, use Owner. A Parent Agency file can only create new Sub-Agency owners, not their admins or agents.


Step 1: Upload

Drag your file into the upload area or click to select it. You can upload a .csv or .xlsx file. Then click Next.


Step 2: Validation and review

TripLoft checks every row and shows the results in a table so you can fix problems before anything is sent. Each row carries a status:

  • Ready: valid and will be invited.

  • Needs entity: the entity is missing or not valid. Use the Mark as dropdown on the row to set it. The row isn't sent until you resolve it.

  • Re-invite?: the email was previously removed from the entity. The row shows Re-invite and Skip buttons, and isn't sent until you choose one.

  • Skipped: the row won't be sent, with the reason in the Detail column.

Common reasons a row is skipped:

  • The email is already an active member of the entity.

  • The email already belongs to a different entity. A user can belong to only one.

  • The email appears earlier in the same file, so only the first occurrence is processed.

  • The row is a Sub-Agency admin or agent in a Parent Agency file. To add those, send the invite from within that Sub-Agency.

  • The email is missing.

Rows that need attention are highlighted. You can export the flagged rows with Download Duplicate List. A counter shows how many rows will not be sent, and the send button shows how many valid invites will go out. When you've resolved what you can, click Next.


Step 3: Finalize

TripLoft sends the invitations and shows a confirmation with the number of people invited. Click Continue to close.


After the import

Everyone invited appears in the Members table with a Pending status until they accept and sign up. As with single invites, a bulk invite sets each person's role but not their data access. You set what shared data they can see from the permission grid once Team Mode is on. See Roles & Permissions.
