Add a visitor

Visitors follow the tour from home. Add one from the Traveler List and they get a one-tap sign-in link by email.

About 2 minutes iPhone, Android & the web Group leaders 4 steps

Visitors follow your tour from home, like a grandparent or your principal, and someone helping you recruit can be one too. You add them yourself, and they sign in with a one-tap link. Travelers, parents and chaperones don't need this: they sign in with the email on their enrollment.

  1. Step 1

    Open Add a visitor

    On Home, tap Travelers (or Admin, then Traveler List). At the top of the list, tap Add a visitor 1, on the right beside Message group.

    It's also on Admin, under Chaperones & visitors. That's the only way in on a proposal, which has no Traveler List.

    Only you, the group leader, can add visitors in the app. Passports can also add one for you, like your principal as a Group admin: ask Passports. The invitation still says you invited them, and they're listed under Visitors on this tour with the ones you add.

  2. Step 2

    Fill in their details

    Under Add a visitor 1, type their first name, last name and email. Add a mobile number if you'd like them to get a text as well.

  3. Step 3

    Choose what they see

    Pick an Access level 1. View only sees announcements and photos while the group travels. Group admin 2 is for school administrators: they also see traveler details, the live map and head counts, can post updates, join the staff chat and make in-app calls.

    Can use Recruitment 3 is for someone helping you fill your trip: turning it on selects Group admin. See Let someone help you recruit.

    Access level: View only, or Group admin for school administrators, then the Can use Recruitment switch, off
  4. Step 4

    Add them

    Tap Add visitor 1. They get an email with a one-tap sign-in link, and a text too if you added a mobile number.

Good to know

Can I add a parent or a traveler this way?

No. Travelers, parents and chaperones already have access: they sign in with the email on their enrollment. If one of them can't get in, send them Fix sign-in trouble.

Can a visitor help me recruit?

Yes: turn on Can use Recruitment on the form. They get one email, your invitation worded for helping with the recruiting, and its “Open in PassportsGo” button opens PassportsGo in a browser, signed in, with Recruitment on the tour's Home. Re-invite does the same. See Let someone help you recruit.

My visitor lost the email, or the link stopped working.

A sign-in link works for 30 days. After that it says This link is no longer valid. Open Add a visitor again: Visitors on this tour lists every visitor, so tap Re-invite next to their name to send a new link. Or they can sign in to PassportsGo with their email address and a code.

How do I remove a visitor?

On the Traveler List, tap their name, then Remove from this tour.
