In every association, strength lies in the team. Successful associations are built not only on good organization, but also on effective collaboration among the members of their leadership. The InPerson platform understands this and offers simple yet powerful tools for teamwork.

Teamwork is essential for a well-functioning association. Without coordination, a clear division of responsibilities, and a transparent system, it is difficult to achieve your goals. That is why the InPerson platform is designed with features that enable natural and effective collaboration within your team.

In this article, we will show you how your team can use the platform — from signing in to everyday collaboration. We are confident that after reading this, you will understand why working together on our platform is so straightforward.

Signing in to the platform

Anyone can easily sign in to the platform without any restrictions. There are two sign-in methods available, depending on personal preference.

The first method is signing in with a Google account. This is the fastest option — all it takes is a single click on the "Continue with Google" button and selecting your Google account in the pop-up window that appears. In just a few seconds, you are ready to go.

The second method is a standard sign-in with a username and password. This method requires a one-time registration of a username and password before your first sign-in. It is a good choice for those who prefer not to link their Google account or do not use one.

Creating an association

Once you are signed in to the application, a list of all associations is displayed. You can see the associations you already have access to (marked with a "Select association" button) and those you can request access to by clicking the "Request access" button.

If your association is not yet on the list, you need to create it first. The process is very simple:

1. Click the "+ Add new association" button.
2. In the pop-up window, enter the name and address of the association.
3. Confirm, and your association is created.

Immediately after, you are granted access to the association as an administrator, giving you full control over your team and settings.

The administrator role

The person who creates an association automatically becomes its administrator. This role comes with important privileges that enable team management:

• Accepting and adding new team members — you can add members manually or approve their access requests.
• Removing people from the recipient list — when users no longer wish to receive your email communications.
• Removing team members from the association — in the event of leadership changes or staff rotations.

You can add or accept team members in the Tasks and Home tabs. On these pages, you can also see information about people who no longer wish to receive your emails. You can remove these individuals from the list on the Members page.

What can editors do?

Team members with the editor role have access to all key platform features:

• Sending emails — creating and sending professional messages to members.
• Managing the member database — adding, editing, and organizing contacts.
• Creating events — planning and publishing association activities.
• Tracking membership fees — monitoring payments and memberships.

This division of roles ensures that all team members can actively participate in the work of the association, while the administrator retains control over key settings and access.

Tasks and goals — the heart of collaboration

You can coordinate your team's work — both inside and outside the application — in a simple and intuitive way using the Tasks and Goals pages. Here you can:

• create a clear work plan for individual events,
• assign tasks among team members,
• track progress toward your goals,
• set deadlines and assign responsible people for each task.

This feature ensures that everyone knows what needs to be done, who is responsible for what, and when the work must be completed. This way, you avoid misunderstandings and duplicated effort.

Why is collaboration important?

A Chinese proverb says: "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together."

This wisdom applies perfectly to team collaboration in associations. Although it may sometimes feel like you can get certain tasks done faster on your own, the long-term success of an association depends on the entire team. Without collaboration, trust, and a proper division of work, it is difficult to sustain energy and motivation over the years.

The InPerson platform is committed to exactly this — the long-term sustainability of associations. We believe that associations should not depend on a single individual, but should instead build on a strong team. That is why we have made collaboration easy, as we consider it essential to the success of every association.

Conclusion

Team collaboration on the InPerson platform is designed to be:

• Simple — signing in and adding members takes just a few clicks.
• Secure — a clear division of roles between administrators and editors.
• Efficient — all the coordination tools you need are in one place.
• Intuitive — no lengthy training or technical expertise required.

Whether your team is small or large, whether you are just starting out or are an established association — the InPerson platform enables you to achieve more together. Together, you truly go further.
