It’s a bit difficult to get newcoming members to a group to initiate intervals.icu. I would like to be able to send a “add me as a coach” request to the group so that I can add and edit plans to their calendars and maybe even initialize some of their settings.

This makes a lot of sense. It’s always a bit tricky to explain how to do it - an invite from the coach would just work brilliantly.
I have changed the “Ask to follow” button on the chat panel to be a drop down. Now you can to ask to follow or ask to coach:
Hopefully this will make it easier for coaches to connect with their athletes.

Thanks! Will this go “live” soon? I don’t yet see any options between PROFILE and the paper clip icon on any browser.
The “Follow” drop down will not show up if you are already following or coaching the athlete you are chatting with. If you are already following someone then they need to go find you in the followers section on the /athlete page, click you and change the permission to coach.
I feel like the drop down should always be there and maybe some options are grayed out if they can’t apply. I’m already following most people that I need to coach, but I still have to navigate them through how to add me as coach, so unfortunately the update doesn’t work for everyone in my group. Perhaps as an aside, there should be an option to send the request to everyone in a group if you’re an admin.
You can now ask to coach someone you are already following. I also fixed a couple of bugs with that process so it should work a lot better.
I will look into the group option.
