Asking teachers to confirm their email address helps ensure that the account you’re adding truly belongs to them. Teachers confirm their address by clicking a link sent to their email, which helps keep your school secure, allows you to catch any typos in their email address, and ensures teachers receive important email notifications from Showbie to their inbox.

Sending Email Confirmations

To start, admins will need to log into the admin dashboard and head to the Teachers tab. Once there, look to the icon beside each teacher's email address:

  • A blue check mark signifies that their email is already confirmed.

  • A yellow exclamation point signifies an awaiting confirmation. Tap the '...' icon on the far right of the column and click Resend Email Confirmation. Once confirmed, you'll see a blue checkmark icon to indicate that their email is indeed confirmed.

Sending Email Confirmations in Bulk

To send email confirmations in bulk, use our bulk actions.

  1. Set the filter to view only Unconfirmed emails.

  2. Use the left-most Select All bubble in the header row to select desired teachers.

  3. From the # of teachers selected menu that appears at the bottom of the Dashboard, tap the Modify Licenses drop down menu.

  4. Select to Resend # Email Confirmations.

Email confirmation links are valid for 24 hours. Teachers may be prompted to confirm their email address when they create classes, folders, or assignments in Showbie. Admins can also resend confirmation emails at any time from the admin dashboard. For more details, see this FAQ article.
