Create your first group and add people

Create a memorable group address and connect people from the shared directory.

Updated August 18, 2026

Create the group

  1. Open Groups

    Choose Groups in the main navigation. Select the team that should own the group.

  2. Choose Add group

    Give the group a clear name, such as Parents, Coaches, or Flight crew.

  3. Choose the address

    The local part appears before the team domain. A Parents group in the iwrhs team might use parents@iwrhs.telltell.app.

  4. Save the group

    TellTell checks the address before creating it. The new group then appears in the team’s group directory.

Add people to the group

A membership connects a person from the shared People directory to a group. Adding the same person to several groups does not create duplicate people.

  1. Open the group’s Members tab

    The list shows the people currently in this group and the member columns shared by its team.

  2. Choose Add member

    Search the shared directory and select an existing person. If they are not in the directory, create the person first.

  3. Review the membership

    Confirm the person’s email and membership status. A newly eligible address receives the group’s welcome message.
