Install & sign up
Create a workspace, verify your email, and configure basic workspace settings.
Sign up
Navigate to /signup. You can sign up with:
- Email + password — enter your email, choose a password, and verify via the confirmation email.
- Google OAuth — click Continue with Google and authorise the connection.
Signing up creates a new workspace automatically. You can also be invited to an existing workspace by a workspace owner — in that case accept the invitation email instead.
Workspace name and slug
During sign-up you choose a workspace name. The slug (lowercase, hyphenated) is derived automatically and is used in:
- The default status page URL:
https://status.example.com/<slug> - Audit log references
You can rename the workspace later under Settings → Workspace.
Email verification
After sign-up, a verification email is sent to your address. Click the link inside. The link expires after 24 hours.
If you do not receive it:
- Check your spam or promotions folder.
- Go to Settings → Profile and click Resend verification email.
First login
After verification you are taken to the onboarding wizard which guides you through:
- Adding your first monitor.
- Connecting a notification channel.
- (Optional) Inviting teammates.
You can skip the wizard at any time — all steps are available from the sidebar.
Invite teammates
Workspace owners and admins can invite additional members:
- Go to Settings → Team.
- Click Invite member and enter their email address.
- Choose a role: Owner, Admin, or Member.
- Click Send invitation.
The invitee receives an email with an accept link. Accepted invitations are visible in the Team list immediately.
| Role | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access, billing, workspace deletion |
| Admin | Monitors, heartbeats, on-call, integrations |
| Member | View monitors and incidents; acknowledge incidents |
Security settings
After sign-up, consider enabling these under Settings → Security:
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) — TOTP-based (Google Authenticator, 1Password, etc.)
- Session management — view active sessions and revoke them remotely
- SSO (Enterprise) — connect your Identity Provider; see Configure SAML SSO
What's next
- First monitor — add an HTTP, ping, or port check
- First heartbeat — monitor your cron jobs and background workers
- First status page — publish a public uptime page
