InstaRaise Support Questions
What steps do returning students need to take on my new InstaRaise campaign?
There are two options for returning students:
The first option is to activate returning students manually.
The second option is to have the students register using the campaign ID.
If you did not activate the students from a previous campaign, then returning students should go to www.instaraise.com and use your new campaign ID to register for the new campaign. On the login screen the students will be prompted to enter their name, last name, email address and phone number. It is important that they use the same email address as they did in the previous InstaRaise campaign. If they can't remember what email they used on the previous campaign, reach out to your representative or export that from the "students" tab on your teacher dashboard from the previous campaign. If they remember their email but have forgotten their password, have them try their last name (lowercase) as the password. Or they can click on forgot password to reset the password.
Once on the Dashboard, the students should click on "Guided Setup" and go through the prompts.
