If you already have pupil contact details saved in your phone, you can easily import them into the Total Drive app. This saves you time and helps prefill key information.
Steps to Import Pupils from Contacts
Open the Instructor App and tap the person icon at the bottom of the screen to access the Pupils section.
Tap the plus icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
You’ll be prompted to grant access to your phone’s contact list. Follow the instructions on your device to enable this.
Note: for iPhone users please make sure permission is enabled in your phone settings to allow Total Drive to access Contacts.
Once access is granted, tapping the plus icon will now allow you to select multiple or single contacts.
You can either scroll through your contacts alphabetically or use the search bar to find a specific name.
When you tap the contact name, the app will automatically import and prefill their basic information into a new pupil profile.
Finishing the Pupil Setup
Make sure “Send App Invite from My Phone” is selected so the pupil receives login access.
Add them to the Waiting List if they’re not ready to be moved to Active Pupils just yet.
Tap “Advanced Options” if you'd like to add further details like their address or secondary phone number.
Save the Import
Once everything looks correct, tap the tick icon in the top-right to save. You’ll now see your imported pupil listed under the Pupils tab, ready to manage and schedule lessons.
