Overview
Getting Started
Get your Servelo workspace set up in a few minutes. This guide walks through signing in, configuring your organization, and adding your team.
Signing in
Servelo supports three ways to authenticate. Your method depends on how your account was created.
| Method | When it applies |
|---|---|
| Magic link | Default for invited users. Enter your email and click the link sent to your inbox. No password needed. |
| Password | Available if you registered with a password, or set one later via My Account. |
| Google / Microsoft OAuth | Available if your admin enabled OAuth. Click the provider button on the login page. |
Magic links expire after 30 minutes. Invitation links sent by admins expire after 7 days. If yours has expired, ask your admin to resend it from the Users page.
Your first login
- Go to your organization's URL:
https://your-company.serveloapp.com - Enter your email address and request a magic link (or use your password / OAuth if set up)
- Check your inbox and click the sign-in link
- You will land on the dashboard
Setting up your organization
After signing in as an admin, visit Settings to configure your workspace:
