Before you start: have your work email and your mobile phone to hand. Both receive a 6-digit
code.

Join an organization you were invited to
Were you invited by a teammate? Follow these four steps instead of the signup below. You don’t
need an organization of your own to join one, and you can create one later from the organization
switcher.
1
Open the invitation link
The invitation email contains a link to
https://app.prod.brudcast.com/invite/…. If you aren’t
signed in, you’re taken to Log in. Log in, or select Sign up if you don’t have an account
yet. Brudcast remembers the invitation while you do.2
Verify your email, if you're new
A new account verifies its email with a 6-digit code, as in the signup below. Brudcast then
brings you back to the invitation.
3
Accept the invitation
On You’ve been invited, check the address after “You’re signed in as”, then select Accept
Invitation. To turn it down, select Decline.
4
Land in the organization
After Invitation accepted, you’re taken to the organization’s dashboard. What you can do
there depends on the role you were given. See
Members and roles.
Sign up and set up your organization
1
Sign up
Go to
https://app.prod.brudcast.com/auth/signup. On Create account, enter your Full
name, Work email and a Password, then select Sign up.If your sign-up page shows Sign up with Google or Sign up with Apple, you can use one of
those instead of a password. You still go through the remaining steps below.2
Verify your email
Brudcast emails you a 6-digit code. On Verify your email, enter it and select Verify.No code? Check your spam folder, then select Resend under “Didn’t receive the code?”.
3
Add your phone number
On Add your phone number, enter your number in Phone number and select Send
verification code. Enter the 6-digit code from the text message and select Verify.The code expires in 10 minutes. If you mistyped the number, select Change number. Each
account needs its own phone number, because it’s used for security codes.
4
Set up two-factor authentication
On Secure your account, pick one or more methods, then select Set up 1 method (the
count changes with your choice).
After you set up an authenticator app, Brudcast shows your backup codes. They’re shown only
once and each works a single time. Select Copy all or Download and store them somewhere
safe, then select Continue.You can select Skip for now and set this up later in Account > Security. We recommend
you don’t skip: your account can reach every contact in your organization.
5
Set up your organization
The Set up your organisation form has four short screens. Select Continue after each.
- Organisation name and Country of incorporation.
- Which channels will you send on? Pick every channel you plan to use. Each one gets its own setup track on your dashboard.
- How will you send? Choose Campaigns to send from the dashboard, or API or SMTP to send from your own application. This decides which steps your checklist shows.
- Industry and Company size. Both are optional.
What happens next
You land on the dashboard’s Overview page. Your organization already has:- a managed sending address on
brudcastmail.com, so you can send a first email campaign without setting up DNS - a Getting Started checklist built from the channels and sending style you chose, described in Your Getting Started checklist below
Your Getting Started checklist
The dashboard’s Overview page carries a Getting Started checklist until every step is done or you select Dismiss. It has an account track plus one track per channel: the channels you picked when you set up your organization, plus any channel you’ve bought a paid plan for. Your answer to How will you send? decides which steps appear.
Every step is worked out from your real data, so you never tick anything, and the header counts how
many are done. Your trial address is a real verified sending domain, so it completes both email
domain steps as soon as it’s issued. They read Trial sending address issued and Trial address
verified, and they point at your own domain once you verify one.
A track you can’t work on shows Locked, with Subscription required when the channel needs an
active plan or Product disabled when Brudcast no longer offers it. SMS and WhatsApp are never
locked for want of a subscription, because they’re paid from
wallet credits instead.
To add a track for another channel, use the Sending on another channel? banner: select Add
channel, pick the channels, then Save channels.
Troubleshooting
The verification code doesn't arrive

to, or the invitation has expired or been cancelled.Fix: if Switch Account appears, select it and sign in with the invited address.
