[Coach Pods](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#coach-pods) # Using the Pod Manager Tool to Create Personal Pods ## The Pod Manager feature allows coaches to create up to 5 private pods. - Pod Manager is a tool that helps Coaches to create and manage *private* pods of up to 16 people. [Click Here to go to Pod Manager Feature.](https://pods.positiveintelligence.com) - The Pod Manager feature eliminates the need to host Pods externally & allows Coaches to join all of their created pods and have them visible in the Community area of the PQ App. - Coaches can have 5 create pods at once. - Coaches can add unlimited participants to a private Pod. ### What do Coaches need to do to form a private Pod? - Find the feature in the PQ app by clicking on the magnifying glass icon in Community - Select Pod Manager in the Explore page        or - Go to [https://pods.positiveintelligence.com](https://pods.positiveintelligence.com) - Use your coach user name and password to login ### Click "Create New" to create a pod - Up to 5 pods can be created - Pod names are limited to 25 characters ![](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets5b9a9ead0428631d7a8b16b5images6441cf5b59e2f42e804e494cfile-8YgeZPq4ze.png) ### Invite new people to pod using their email address - Make sure you use the same email address the user is using for their PQ App - All of the members of the pod are considered **Pod** **admins** & members can send invitations via username or email associated with their PQ account - Until the invitation is accepted or dismissed, the **invitation spot is reserved** - Members **can withdraw invitations** that have not been accepted yet & if the invitation is withdrawn, the invite link will be expired ![](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets5b9a9ead0428631d7a8b16b5images6441d0728d05ee6ec16cf58afile-jPH7OSJyvd.png) ### Remove people from the pod - Members can remove other members from the pod, so inactive pod members do not stall the progress of active members - Members can leave pods voluntarily at any time - If the last member of the pod leaves, the pod & all the conversations within **are deleted** ![](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets5b9a9ead0428631d7a8b16b5images6441d1378d05ee6ec16cf58bfile-W3CppwIqTo.png) ### Accepting the Pod invitation - When a new member is invited to join the pod, they get an email with the invitation link, where they can accept or decline the invitation - Accepting or declining an invitation doesn't require a login - If the invitation is accepted, current members of the pod will be notified that a new member joined - Once declined, the invitation will expire ![](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets5b9a9ead0428631d7a8b16b5images6442c33659e2f42e804e4b5bfile-33KxFdMRii.png) ### Pods can be renamed and reused - You can edit the pod name and add and remove members at any time. - This allows you to create new pods once an old pod has expired or ended the PQ Program. - [PQ Coach Benefits](https://coachsupport.positiveintelligence.com/pq-coach-benefits?hsLang=en#main-content) -
