# How to Log Into the Event and Sales Manager (ESM)

## The Event and Sales Manager (ESM) gives you access to the Check-In Tool, Sales Entry System, and FAN Quick Entry Tool. This article walks through how both volunteers and organizers can log in using the method that works best for them.

**Pro Tip:** For the best experience, use the Check-In Tool on a laptop or tablet. If using the Check-In Tool on a smartphone, log in directly at **[esm.trellis.org/login](https://esm.trellis.org/login)**

### **How to Find the ESM**

- To access the ESM, go to: **[esm.trellis.org/login](https://esm.trellis.org/login)**
- This login page is separate from the main Trellis dashboard, so it's a good idea to bookmark it for easy access on event day.
- You can also click the **ESM Icon** on the fundraiser card from the dashboard.

### **Two Ways to Log In**

There are two login options for the ESM, depending on the type of user:

#### **1. Organizer Login (Username and Password)**

- Best for: **Organizers**
- Use the same **username and password** you use to log into the main Trellis dashboard.
- Click **“Organizer Login”** to enter your credentials.
- If your password isn’t working, you can click **“Forgot password?”** to reset it.

**Pro Tip:**

If the Organizer login doesn’t work, you can switch to the Volunteer Login and send yourself a magic link instead.

#### **2. Volunteer Login (Magic Link)**

- Best for: **Volunteers**
- Click **“Volunteer Login”** and enter your email address.
- You’ll receive a magic login link by email. Click the link to access the ESM—no password required.

**Magic link reminders:**

- Links expire after **6 hours**.
- Links can only be used **once**.
- If you click an expired or used link, you’ll be prompted to send yourself a new one.

### **Logging in with Google**

Both volunteers and organizers can also choose to log in using **Google**. This option is available on both login screens.

### **Troubleshooting and Permissions**

- **Donors** cannot log in to the ESM. If a donor tries to log in, they will be blocked.
- You **cannot create a new account** from the ESM login page. If someone cannot access the ESM, they will need to contact the **Organization Manager** to be granted permission.
- It’s a good idea to have a backup plan in case a volunteer is unable to log in. Set up a shared **Fundraiser Manager account** ahead of time that can be used to access the ESM with a username and password if needed.
