How to invite a team member
Go to Settings > My Staff and click Add Employee.Enter their details
Enter the team member’s first name, last name, and email address. These are used to create their account and for internal display throughout the platform.
Assign a role
Select a role from the dropdown. Roles control what sections and actions the user can access. See the role breakdown below.

Configure permissions
After selecting a role, you can further customise individual permissions — for example, allowing a user to view conversations but not delete contacts.
Roles explained
HoopAI has several built-in roles. Your available roles may vary by plan.Admin
Admin
Full access to all settings, features, and data. Can add and remove users, change billing, and configure integrations. Reserve this role for account owners and senior managers.
User
User
Standard access to day-to-day features — contacts, conversations, calendars, and opportunities. Cannot access sensitive account settings like billing, API keys, or user management.
Agency
Agency
Used in multi-location or agency setups. Can manage sub-accounts depending on configuration. Consult your HoopAI plan documentation for details.
Only Admins can invite new users and change roles. If you need to adjust your own permissions, contact your account admin.
Managing existing team members
From Settings > My Staff you can:- Edit a user’s name, email, role, or permissions at any time
- Resend invite if a team member’s activation link has expired (links expire after 24 hours)
- Deactivate a user to revoke their access without deleting their history or assigned records
- Delete a user to permanently remove them — their assigned contacts and conversations remain but lose the user association
Assigning users to calendars and pipelines
After adding a team member, you may want to:- Add them as a calendar owner so they can receive appointment bookings — configure this under the calendar settings for each calendar
- Assign them to a pipeline stage so leads can be routed to them via workflow automation
- Set their notification preferences — users can manage this themselves under Settings > My Profile > Notifications
