Sending Welcome Emails Using TSDE

TSDE (Taskstream Data Exchange) allows you to create prepaid accounts in bulk via a spreadsheet upload for students and faculty within your organization.

If your institution chooses to purchase student accounts, Taskstream will create specific TSDE key codes that are provided for a specified time period for a specific number of users based on the number of subscriptions purchased in advance.

When creating accounts, you have the option to immediately send welcome emails or forego sending welcome emails until a later time. If you choose the latter option, you can send welcome emails when appropriate by following the steps outlined below.
