Creating New Teams

New Users

When creating a new account in Edlink, you will be prompted to join an existing team via a team invitation or create a new team.

1. If you are part of school, district, or university and want to integrate your organizations data, select the School, District, or University option. If you are a developer and want to integrate your platform with school data, select the Software Developer option. Enter the name of your organization, and select Continue when finished.
2. If you are a software developer, you will be prompted to create an Application. Enter the name of your application, and select Continue when finished. Once you've created your first application, Edlink will prompt you to integrate one or more developer sandboxes with your application for testing purposes.

Claiming an Inactive Team

During the onboarding process, you might encounter a screen prompting you to Claim a team rather than create a new one.

This occurs when Edlink detects an existing team for your institution that is currently inactive (has no members). This inactive team may have been created via a previous integration attempt or automated system process.

In this case, proceed by selecting to Claim the team. This action assigns you as the owner of the existing team, avoiding the creation of a duplicate organization and allowing you to continue with your integration setup seamlessly.

Existing Users

If you already have an account created with Edlink, select the arrow next to your organization's name at the top of page and click Create New Team.

A box will popup prompting you to create a team. If you are part of school, district, or university and want to integrate your organizations data, select the School, District, or University option. If you are a developer and want to integrate your platform with school data, select the Software Developer option. Enter the name of your organization, and select Create Organization when finished.
