Once you go live with ServiceTitan, you can no longer access this feature - Entering your employee and technician information in bulk is only available during onboarding. Once your company goes live with ServiceTitan, you can only create profiles one by one. - Make sure to enter an office phone number for your office employees and not their mobile phone number. An office phone number is the direct dial number to reach office employees at their desks. If you don’t have a direct office number for each employee, you can enter your main company phone number. - Make sure to enter a mobile phone number for your technicians. ServiceTitan uses the mobile number to send notifications to the technician. If a technician doesn’t have a mobile number, we use their email address instead. ## Add your office employees 1.
