How to login to FieldEdge

FieldEdge runs entirely from your NationBuilder login. To login to FieldEdge, you will need to know the slug of your nation plus your email and password.

What is a slug? Your slug is the first part of the URL when you are using the NationBuilder Dashboard, eg. mycampaign.nationbuilder.com ("mycampaign" is the slug in this case). 

If you were sent an email from FieldEdge, it should have listed your campaign/organisation's slug.

You may have been sent an invite from NationBuilder to activate your account. Before logging into FieldEdge, you will need to click the link in that email and set your password. Once this is done, you can use that password, along with your email address, to login to FieldEdge.

If you were never sent an invite from NationBuilder, don't know your slug or password, please touch base with your campaign/organisation. In most cases, we do not have this information.

MOBILE APP ERRORS

Solutions for when you are having trouble signing in to the app on your mobile:

Error Message
You do not have permission to use this app.

Solution
The NB account you are signing in with does not have permission to use third-party apps (this includes FieldEdge). Contact the person who added you to the nation and advise them to enable "API > sign into apps" on your associated permission set. Learn more about FieldEdge and NationBuilder Permissions.

Error Message
License Error – It looks like (you@email) haven't yet been added to this FieldEdge team (yourslug).

Solution

The email address associated with the NB account you are logging in with needs to be added to your FieldEdge account. In some rare cases, the account you are logging in with has multiple email addresses on the profile. In this case, ensure the email address that has been marked as Primary is the one that has been added to your FieldEdge account.

WEBSITE DASHBOARD ERRORS

Solutions for when you are having trouble signing in to the Dashboard on our website:

The FieldEdge website now uses your NationBuilder account to authenticate your access. 

Firstly, be sure you are logging in at https://dashboard.fieldedgeapp.com.

When you arrive at this page, enter your nations slug (the first bit of your nation's control panel URL). Be sure the spelling is correct.

If at this point you try to login and receive an error about an incorrect username/password, please follow these instructions on resetting your NationBuilder password.
